Beach closed The West Beach at Port Dar[- ington is one of three beaches in Durham Region closed to swimi- mers. Regional health inspectors last week posted warning signs at the beach because of recent water sami- pIe readîngs indicate~d hgh bacterial counts in the water.

Tenant parking rules Future developers of new residen- tial dwelling units in Bowmanville's downtown core may face new re- quirements for supplying parking spaces to their tenants. The regulations now under con- sideration would require newý residential units to have adequate parking spaces provided. Exîsting property would not be affected by the proposaI. "It'protects the parking interest of the business community," said Councillor Diane Hamre. Tenants will park on their own land rather than taking up spaces which are to be used by shoppers. Neighbourhood plan needed Developers of land in east iwmnanville will flot be allowed to ictrease the density of their.subdivi- sions until a new neighbourhood plan bas been prepared for the area. This decision was reached by Newcastle Council last week after a, property owner in the- Mearns Ave.-Concession St. area requested permission to increase the number of townhouses allowed on a 3.8 acre parcel of land east of Bradsbaw Street. If approved, tbe increase in the number of additional units would be 29 or a 45 percenit increase from the proposai origzinallyý ap- proved.

Danger at intersection A resident of a new Courtice sub-' division bas requested that safety concerns at the intersection at Highway 2 and Trulîs' Rd. be- in- vestigated. In a letter to counicil Jennifer Bilenduke noted that at times the view of vehicles northbound on Trull's Rd. is blocked by vebicles parked at acorner store to the west and by a curve in Highway 2 to the east. She suggested that the installa- tion of lights at this corner would prevent an accident. The request was referred to Newcastle's director of public works for a report on ber concerns.
