Should Surrey return to ward system? Now staff twitter@amyreid87
SURREY – Should Surrey scrap its current at-large system in favour of a ward system? Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says no.
Watts said one of the reasons she is against wards is because Surrey had the system 50 years ago and it didn’t work. “White Rock was ward seven and there was a lot of fighting between different wards. Thus, we have White Rock today,” she said.
