Help Warkworth stay Warkworth.

We are calling on the Mayor and Council of Trent Hills to defer the current 43-unit medium-density proposal at 122 Mill Street and require a substantial redesign that fits Warkworth’s scale, character, and livability. We are not opposed to housing. We are opposed to the wrong form of housing at one of the most important entrances to our village.

As proposed, this development risks harming the very qualities that make Warkworth special: its small-town rural identity, heritage feel, tourism appeal, local business environment, village atmosphere, and peaceful entrance landscape. It also raises broader concerns about long-term disruption, infrastructure and livability pressures, traffic, parking, healthcare and school access, and the loss of a pastoral gateway that helps define how Warkworth is experienced by residents and visitors alike.

Warkworth has room to grow, but it should grow in a way that protects what makes people want to live here, visit here, and invest here in the first place.

Sign and share if you believe Warkworth is worth saving and deserves growth that fits.
