On yesterday’s program we talked about the decision by Surrey City Council to make it illegal to sleep overnight in RVs and campers on city streets.

Councillors who were against that move had complained that the language in the amended bylaw bordered on the offensive - and it doesn't make any mention as to what people who live in their RV's are supposed to do.

This played out on the airwaves yesterday - and in particular, during my interview with Surrey City Councillor, Doug Elford.

Elford was one of those who voted to make it illegal to sleep overnight in RVs and campers on city streets.

So we wanted to continue the conversation today. Just before we came on the air today I had the chance to speak with the former Mayor of Surrey, Dianne Watts. Here’s our conversation.
