Dan Ferguson - Surrey North Delta Leader Published: August 27, 2009 10:00 AM
The Surrey RCMP did not propose using smelly chicken manure to drive away homeless people from a Whalley neighbourhood, Surrey's Deputy City Manager Dan Bottrill said Thursday."The idea came from the city," Bottrill told The Leader."RCMP had nothing to do with it."Bottrill said a city staffer, who he did not name, came up with the notion and decided to go ahead without having it reviewed by more senior managers. He said an investigation was conducted after the August 14 dumping at the Front Room drop-in centre in the 10600-block of 135A Street and a second vacant lot about a block away, just west of the Surrey Food Bank on 135 Street.City crews removed the manure from the front room site on Saturday, Bottrill said, and the manure on the second site was taken out a few days later.
