Strathroy-Caradoc went thru this last year. It was shot down pretty quickly even though OPP policing was cheaper. Most people (myself included) didn't mind paying a little more knowing the officers were dedicated to this area and had a response time to almost anywhere in Strathroy-Caradoc township in under 4 minutes.

*But*.... For the Leamington area scanner enthusiast, hopefully it goes thru :)

Will they be putting up a new tower? Or just building a new station and adding a new zone to the essex tower?
