Crime and homelessness top priorities for Penticton, B.C.’s mayor-elect
“Where people are comfortable getting out and about and do get out and about and out of the cars and you know, into the parks and into the open spaces and just creating a more livable community,” he told Global News.
“Certainly crime and homelessness is going to be the biggest challenge,” he said. “And that’s where all the focus is right now”.Bloomfield said he wants to take swift action to deal with the issues that have plagued the city for several years now.“I have a few ideas as to what I want to do, but in very quick steps, but it’s going to be up to council to endorse those,” Bloomfield told Global news. “And I think we’ll decide those factors at the first council meeting.
“I already made a motion to the last council or to the current council, I should say,” he stated. “We took it to UBCM . It was endorsed unanimously and we presented it to two of the provincial ministers and that is already underway. So I’m hoping that there’s going to be fast track.”“Taking stock of city-owned land and finding suitable safe and affordable housing contracts,” Bloomfield said.
“It’ll be quite a different council, I think, with a lot of younger people, so it might do us some good,” said Penticton resident Bernice Miller.“I think we will have to give them a chance and see what their actual implementable ideas are,” said Penticton resident Loraine Stephenson.
