Defeated two-term mayor David Screech says he accepts his defeat, but will become “a self-appointed council watchdog.”
View Royal’s new mayor says he wants to tap into the municipality’s residents to refine the town’s Official Community Plan and take a closer look at where developments should go.
“I think we have to ask people: ‘What do you need here? What would enhance your community? Do you have a school, a grocery store, a park within five minutes?” The town has Victoria General Hospital, the region’s only casino and one of its busiest regional parks at Thetis Lake, and is considered a major link between the West Shore and Victoria’s urban core. It’s a convenient place to live for people who work in any of the CRD’s municipalities, and a hot spot for development.
Screech, 62, who was first elected mayor in 2014, then acclaimed in the post in 2018 and served as a councillor from 2002 to 2014, said he was disappointed with the turnout for the vote. Police were called to the incident, which started when Screech found a flyer from a resident who wanted to discuss the Official Community Plan during the Tobias event.Tobias recognizes there is a split on council on development issues and said there needs to be healing under his watch. He also said rising inflation and a recession forecast should be considered, and the town has to be vigilant with expenditures.
