Hello Delaware, Carriage and Longwoods now have working traffic lights installed, which is great news. This should make that intersection much safer and easier to access. There has been considerable lobbying with the City of London - Westdel Bourne & Longwoods – as well as the County of Middlesex for lights at Littlewood and Carriage, Carriage and Longwoods and the crosswalk at Springer and Victoria. We had a successful year due to the completion of these projects. I would like to acknowledge our Roads Department, led by Transportation Manager Andrew Giessen, for a couple of initiatives they have completed. One has been in place for a while: the speed sensors on Longwoods and the patching of the potholes in front of the Bait Shop and 190 Wortley Rd.

New recreation programs will start in January, with registration opening on December 4th, 2025. The Delaware Community Centre offers various programs. Details at middlesexcentre.ca/ rec-programs or call the Komoka Wellness Centre. Our Chief Administrative Officer, Michael Dillulo, has moved on to accept a similar role with Haldimand County. We wish him all the best in his new position. Finally, as this is the Christmas issue, I would like to wish all of you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cheers,

as you enter the Esso station. As I stated in a previous article, this property belongs to the County of Middlesex, but they would not address the problem. I deemed this unsafe and our Transportation Department provided the fix. The last intersection that, I believe, needs a light is Gideon and Longwoods. I will request that the County conduct another study at that intersection.
