Plea to Montgomery: Tear down this wall | Letter

The beach and Wonn Road belong to the people, not the Montgomerys.

Editor,

On Jan. 25, a police officer asked me if I saw anyone snooping around Bruce Montgomery’s property on Wonn Road in Greenbank, the property currently under dispute in court over a wall that blocks public access to the shoreline.

I said, “No, just a man on the end of Wonn Road leaning against his car looking through his binoculars to see the whales.”

Then, the police asked the man for his ID; he was with the Orca Network.

I think the wall shouldn’t be there because the beach belongs to the people and they should have the right to go watch whales if they want too.

There aren’t any other places to go to the beach.

It must be boring to sit in your house in a different town and just watch your camera to start drama.

I don’t get why they bought property on both sides of Wonn Road if they didn’t like the fact people have the right to drive or walk to and on the beach.

The beach and Wonn Road belong to the people, not the Montgomerys.
