Keep yards clear, or face the consequences
With summer officially underway, Prince Albert are reminded to keep their yards clean or face a visit from the city’s bylaw.
Last year, city council updated the property amenities bylaw as a means to keep neighbourhoods looking aesthetically pleasing. An infringement of the bylaw can be broad. It can be as simple as an overgrown lawn with too many weeds, to junked vehicles on the property.
So far, there have been 215 calls to bylaw enforcement.
Suzanne Stubbs, bylaw manager with the city’s police service, called the amount of calls this year fairly normal. She said two of the most common calls are overgrown grass and dilapidated vehicles. The bylaw also includes the outside of the house as well.
