A Richmond News reader is concerned about a tent encampment in city centre.

A tent encampment was spotted at a park un Richmond city centre.

Dear Editor,

This is an open letter to the current Richmond administration of the increase in theft, property break-ins and recent tent encampment.

Our strata was a victim of theft and vehicle break-ins even in a secured area. Five cars were victimized and prior to that motorcycles were stolen. I wonder if something is done with the increase of homeless persons in our city.

In fact, this week a tent encampment can be seen in a park in front of the municipal building along Granville and No. 3 Road.

I strongly urge the Richmond administration to address this issue before someone gets hurt.

Make our taxes worth paying for.
