Sam Austin runs Oak Farm in Harpsden Bottom and has a separate business called Red Horse Products that has been affected by changes to international exports.

Halifax regional council has approved changes to the municipality s new parking system, including lifting the four-hour time limit per zone.
Parking meters in peninsular Halifax and downtown Dartmouth were replaced last October with digital pay stations and zones. This is the second set of major changes, said Coun. Shawn Cleary. We re being nimble, we re trying stuff, we re adapting to feedback.
There will be variable rates for certain times to discourage commuters from using on-street spots for all-day parking.
