Bylaw in this town getting ridiculous!

[Spidubic]

First the Friendship Festival parking ticket fiasco and now Budd's has been ordered to remove its tables from the sidewalk by bylaw enforcement. WTF!

Regulations can give town a bad reputation

For as long as I can remember Budd's has always had tables out on the sidewalks for sidewalk sales. Now all of a sudden they are a problem? I say again WTF!

Seems kind of ironic since most people I know complain that when they actually call by-law about something they darn near die of old age by the time anyone comes around....IF anyone comes around, lol.

When I was a teenager (maybe a few years ago!!!) I worked at Budd's in Ladies Wear. On the sidewalk sale days, it was my job to keep the outdoor tables neat and tidy and I suspect to watch for shoplifters. Can't say that I ever saw/caught anyone. Sidewalk sale days are part of the charm of Simcoe. I've ALWAYS looked forward to those sale bargains. You?

well there is a good thing being overlooked here !
the by-law enforcement people are doing a job that is of the uppermost importance t canada,ontario,and norfolk county !
they are creating JOBS ! !
i have'nt done an actual head count, but from what i gather we have a larger group of by-law office personell (paid personell,a lot of by-law positions were filled by volunteers in the various townships,with the towns being done by various department employees")than ever in the history of norfolk ! !
and if it weren't for all of these positions all (or most) of these people would be unemployed !
then they would be collecting uic,or welfare and living on about 15% of the income they now make with only your taxes being less (plus you not getting to pay tickets every time you turn around ) ! !
and thigs might go back to being freindly!
and no one would like that as the local council wouldn't have any reason to keep writing new by-laws !
