DP World wants to tear down a storage shed at their Surrey port terminal. The 6,700 square metre building would be replaced with outdoor storage space for steel and other bulk goods. The company says this will make the terminal more efficient.
Why This Matters: Live or work near the Fraser Surrey port? Demolition means four months of noise and dust. The new outdoor storage area will change how the terminal looks and operates.
