Niagara-on-the-Lake Local received the following letter to the editor regarding our article Forums on housing for seniors confirm the need for alternatives

I am somewhat amused at "The Seniors Housing Opinions Group " findings agreeing with our town councils - Consulting Groups report.

Ask any senior and you will get the answer: 'Yes, we are crying out for optional accommodation to remain in NOTL,' should we sell our homes.

Also alarming is a local group's proposal for the hospital site.

It should be obvious to all including our council.

The hospital site should be a retirement home similar to The Henley in St. Catharines.

This whole hospital decision and seniors alternate housing is suffering from analysis paralysis. Just make the obvious decision.
