LANGFORD, B.C. The City of Langford bought a parcel of land at 1365 Goldstream Ave. more than a decade ago, with the idea of using it for highway improvement. “But we don’t need it,” says Langford Mayor Stew Young. “Highways doesn’t need it. It’s just an orphaned piece of property.” Now, the 4.6-acre site is up for sale, and that has angered some residents. A local group called Langford Voters for Change has created a petition against the sale. Members want to see the land turned into park space instead. The petition builds on a letter from Brian Belcher, a Langford resident, to the mayor. In the letter, Belcher argues that the area has ecological value and should be protected.
