No court action is imminent. “We are going one step at a time,” Scott said. “We’re just going through the steps to hold Langford accountable.” The feeling is that people are being “shut out of the democratic process,” she said. Coun. Denise Blackwell said the apartment complex proposal still had to come to council and then perhaps proceed to a public hearing. “We’re hoping to reduce the number of storeys.” She said it would be easier without COVID-19 and be able to speak to people face-to-face. Scott said the core issue of two apartment buildings being proposed for a neighbourhood on a narrow street with single-family homes, at the corner of Fairway Avenue and Goldstream Avenue, has been complicated by Langford council’s “secrecy” in deciding this month not to livestream its meetings. She said it was unusual the decision was made in camera. “That’s the thing that really is odd to us.”
