Changes to School Street in Bath
During the Aug. 12, 2024, District of Carleton North Council meeting, the council voted in favour of multiple changes to School Street in Bath, including creating a new municipal lot located at 128 School Street for the existing Bath swimming pool and wellhead, extending the municipal boundaries of School Street, and creating a new lot where the Bath Middle School used to be.
Mayor Harvey explained that the Department of Education currently owns the land on which the swimming pool and wellhead are located. Because of this, the property lacks a designated street address, which negatively impacts emergency response and administration services.
The Department also owns School Street, beginning at the swimming pool. Extending the municipal boundaries of the street will allow the district to create a new lot for the new Bath Step Ahead Early Learning Centre, which will be constructed on the old Bath Middle School grounds.
“I want to be clear,” said Mayor Harvey. “This isn’t costing us any money. The lots are being transferred to us from the Department of Education for zero dollars. We will then turn the [old school] lot over to Step Ahead.”
Rezoning hearings for Centreville Snowmobile Clubhouse
Public hearings will be held for the proposed rezoning of 10 Station Road in Centreville, NB. Two hearings will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 18, at 6:30 pm via video and teleconference and Tuesday, September 24, at 6:30 pm at the Stickney Recreation Centre. The rezoning will allow the construction and operation of a snowmobile clubhouse facility.
Deputy Mayor Karen Hargrove told councillors that she’s heard concerns from residents who are worried the facility would be a warming hut that would be open to the public.
Mayor Harvey told his council that was not the case.
“The storage facility is for their groomers with the capability of hosting club meetings or occasional club functions, similar to Johnville,” he said.
