A Hamilton councillor’s bid to cap the number of cash advance outlets into the town cleared another hurdle Tuesday whenever it absolutely was unanimously authorized because of the city’s planning committee.
Coun. Matthew Green proposed the legislation, that will enable only 1 loan provider to use in each one of the city’s 15 wards, so that you can limit “predatory” behaviour by pay day loan organizations. He states the firms target low-income communities, whose users frequently check out the firms in desperation, but fall further into debt due to the rates that are high-interest charges that are included with the loans.
Green stated it will probably become a legislation if it’s ratified at a gathering in two months, providing council time and energy to think about an exemption to the proposed cap asked for Tuesday with a councillor because of the Flamboro Downs casino inside her ward.
