Majorie Nowlan, 87, resides within sight of the future Volkswagen battery plant. But unlike most of the neighbours, her land wasn’t bought out.
South Edgeware Road in St. Thomas always been a busy spot for traffic — but in recent months, construction related to the new battery plant has intensified.
“I had no warning. I had no idea that they were ever going to do what they’ve done in front of the house,” said Nowlan.
And there is more to come. Soon, the land in front of Marjorie's home and her son Bill’s business, will be dug up to lay a sewage pipe for the new plant. When that happens her driveway will be cut off.
“This is not going to be pleasant,” said Marjorie, who utilizes a mobility scooter and a walker. She told CTV News she fears she will be trapped.
Bill says the solutions offered are not acceptable.
