Chatham-Kent council passed a motion to have administration conduct a service review on service centres, municipal information desks and customer service delivery.
Administration will report back to council in the fall of this year so council can make a decision if there is a possible cost savings heading into the 2022 municipal budget by eliminating some or all of the municipal service centres or possibly reducing or combining services into other municipal operations.
Councillor Steve Pinsonneault said municipal service centres in rural towns and villages are the only link those places have to the municipality.
