We are on the scene at the Children’s Magical Garden at Stanton and Norfolk where a long standing dispute has been rekindled between the community and developer Serge Hoyda. Hoyda has planned to develop a portion of this site for some time now. A fence is being installed and we are told cutting crews are standing by. Police officers are here, trying to keep the peace. We will have more as this story unfolds.
