Roadside signs protesting a proposed property tax increase in Langford are drawing attention, including from the city's bylaw department.
Resident Nirmal Johal is part of a group calling themselves Our Langford, which has put up signs around Langford attempting to put a stop to an unprecedented 12 per tax increase that's been proposed in the city.
"We’re a group of concerned citizens," he said.
"We’re fighting to have this reduced. It should not be 12 percent," said Johal.
On Wednesday, Johal got a call from the head of Langford’s city bylaw department.
"He’s asked me to remove all the signs from public areas," he said.
Bylaw reportedly told him the call came after the city received numerous complaints about the signs.
