| Windsor Police Services | The Windsor Police Service fully supports this requested closure.

The attached photo illustrates evidence of this to some extent. The affected lands/space are quite secluded, elevating vulnerability to the aforementioned problems and we support the closure as a measure that will help to prevent a continuance of this problematic activity for this neighbourhood into the future. |
