Mayor: Bancroft has a lot on its plate for this year

Bancroft Mayor Paul Jenkins is optimistic about what 2018 will bring for the town.

With the New Year now underway, Jenkins says council has a lot on its plate, but will be working to make Bancroft a better place. Although he calls it a very tough situation, Jenkins says there are a number of initiatives planned for this year to address issues around the town’s water and sewer systems.

As staff has started preparing the town’s 2018 budget, Jenkins says there is a goal to reduce operational costs paid for through taxes by two per cent this year. He says this will encourage new development in the area.

Jenkins says Bancroft has a number of other projects on the go, including opportunities that could present themselves thanks to the town’s in-house recycling program. He says council will continue to look for ways to save money on the public works yard, and whether or not Club 580 can be turned into a community hub.
