Are you a good neighbour?
Introducing the ‘Be a Good Neighbour‘ campaign. It’s an awareness campaign launched by the Town of Milton to help residents learn more about common by-law concerns like property standards, noise, litter and parking.
Residents can find friendly, seasonal by-law tips, with the idea that they they will be informed and educated before any misunderstandings lead to reporting or enforcement.
“We know that Milton residents love living in our welcoming neighbourhoods and want to be good neighbours,” says Milton Mayor Gord Krantz. “We want residents, new and old, to understand how the Town works and to know how they can be good neighbours.”
This spring, the campaign will focus on seasonal by-law issues such as:
- Long Grass and Weeds
- Pet Waste
- Driveway Extensions
- On-street Parking
- Calling the Town before you build or renovate
Milton residents will see reminders about how to Be a Good Neighbour across the Town web pages, social media and digital signs.
“The Town of Milton’s by-laws help ensure a safe, quiet and pleasant environment for residents in our community,” says Meaghen Reid, Director, Legislative and Legal Services/Town Clerk, Town of Milton. “We hope this campaign helps increase awareness of our by-laws, as we strive to maintain positive relationships with all residents.”
The campaign will introduce a friendly ‘door-hanger’ that by-law staff will use to warn a resident who may not understand the Town’s by-laws. These have been translated to address language as a potential barrier.
