Editor:

Every few months we have to wash our fences down as they are covered in very small coal dust partials that allow a green slim to grow.

We live in Ladner on Wellburn Drive.

They say we aren’t effected by the coal shipments, but our fence gets worse every year.

Just think what we are breathing in and the coal trains are becoming more frequent.

They want to expand the port? Need to review the coal shipments and if they can do more to reduce the dust that covers Ladner.

Fed up washing my fence.

John and Toni Costelloe
