Charlottetown councillors are worried sidewalks, streets and other crucial infrastructure in the city is falling into disrepair while at the same time money budgeted for those projects is going unspent.

Groups working to reduce the harm caused by illegal drug use on P.E.I. say their work is being hindered by misinformation, some of which is promoted by Charlottetown city councillors.

Some Charlottetown city councillors continue to express doubts about the Native Council of P.E.I.'s harm reduction program, which for four years has been providing services for Islanders with drug addictions.

While everyone seems to agree that a controversial homeless support centre in P.E.I. should move from its current spot, where it should go is now the question.

The P.E.I. government's decision to move the provincial outreach centre is drawing fierce criticism, with some Islanders saying the province is just kicking the can down the road.

Residents in Charlottetown protested Saturday outside of a provincial government building. Many say they're fed up with the inaction by government to close an facilty that helps with homelessness.

The City of Charlottetown is saying no to plans to move a supervised injection site to Park Street.

Terry Avery is staying in a cottage in North Lake, worried, she says, about returning to her Charlottetown home because drug use in the area is so bad.

Prompted by complaints, many from people in the neighbourhood of the Community Outreach Centre, Charlottetown Deputy Mayor Alanna Jankov has put forward a notice of motion for police to create a plan to address illicit drug use.

Charlottetown city council has voted to close its own investigation into nine allegations raised as part of a financial audit, without ever making details of those allegations public.
