In 2011, a project was launched to update the tiny community of Bancroft’s wastewater plant. It was a costly and badly planned project — and the province has abdicated responsibililty leaving the 900 residents of Bancroft with the highest water bills in Ontario. People talk about the ways in which they are being gouged and making ends meet in this important report by the North Hastings Community Trust. After reading this report, send Daryl Cramp, MPP of the Hastings–Lennox and Addington riding a message and demand that the province do its part to help the residents of Bancroft.
