Greg Lightfoot running for re-election; wants to reduce crime
A councillor running for re-election wants to change the perception of North Battleford from a crime ridden city, to a favourable place to live.
Greg Lightfoot has served as a North Battleford councillor for the last four years. He said, if re-elected, he’d like to continue with downtown development but admits crime and safety is city’s biggest issue.
“How can we enhance that? How can we make this community safer?” Lightfoot said. “If we are going to see some changes they’d be in regards to safety in the community. I want North Battleford looked at as a city of choice in the province.”
Lightfoot said council has done a good job putting together a comprehensive safety strategy within the community. He highlighted the Community Safety Officers who have taken duties off the plate of RCMP so they can focus on more serious crimes.
