1. An intersection in Southwold Township, the scene of several accidents this year, will soon be taken out of commission. The three-way intersection of Talbot Line, Ron McNeil Line and Ford Road most recently was the site of a two-car crash that sent two people to hospital on June 8.
That’s the last straw, asserts Southwold Mayor Grant Jones, who advises Ford Road will soon be closed at Talbot Line.
