LETTER: This is how we want to promote business?

Upset about towing practices in Bronte, one reader asks: Is having dinner out a good reason to have your car towed from an empty parking lot?

Oakville News received the following letter about a car being towed from a parking lot while the owners were having dinner.

Hey Bronte Village BIA, here’s a suggestion: If you want people to support businesses in the Village of Bronte, maybe you could stop some of your local businesses from ripping people off by towing their car from an empty parking lot at 7:30 p.m. on a Friday night while they are trying to help another business by enjoying a nice dinner at the Firehall.

We got a $330 bill to retrieve our car from the loan shark towing company - Philly’s Towing at 1149 Speers Road. Nice scam operation you’re running! Well done.

Good way to encourage people from Oakville and neighbouring towns to go to Bronte to shop. Keep up the great work.
