Bancroft OPP costing too much: Report
Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 7:35 amThe Town of Bancroft is happy with its Ontario Provincial Police service, just not the cost to maintain the status quo.
According to Bancroft This Week, municipal residents pay nearly $1.6 million for the service, that’s 27% of its 2013 budget.
Bancroft councillor Paul Jenkins is quoted as saying the problem is the cost-formula from the province.
The cost is over $700 per household per year, while the provincial average is around $160 per home.
Officials say municipalities adjacent to Bancroft pay between $150 and $190 for the OPP.
