Abandoned houses
Neighbours in an Oakville community are fuming about an abandoned house on their street. Windows are boarded up, the property is neglected, and inside there’s grafitti and holes in the walls. The house, on Heritage Way and across the street from a school, is not only unsightly; fire officials say it’s dangerous. The deputy fire chief says they’ve discovered lit candles inside, and evidence of small fires. A number of viewers are sharing their stories with us, of similar problems in their neighbourhoods. Now we want to hear yours. What’s your view, tell us about the problem house on your street, and what you think the city should do about properties like it.
