About 30 mobile home tenants were in attendance for Monday night’s council meeting to express their serious concerns about the future of the residences, which are at risk of being forced out in favour of single family homes, but councillors could only offer them sympathy and a consensus that no options are really available until the next urbanism plan in a couple of years.
