(Above) Joyce Lavigne (left) and her daughter Rebecca Rou stand beside the ice cream truck they own and run as Belle’s Ice Cream in Hawkesbury. After a neighbor filed a complaint, Lavigne has been advised by the Town of Hawkesbury that she can no longer park the vehicle in her home’s private driveway (photo below), as it violates the town’s bylaw regarding commercial vehicles parked in residential areas. She has been given until this Friday, June 26 to comply. Lavigne and Rou have started an online petition at change.org to obtain support in her fight to be able to keep the vehicle parked at her home and as of Monday had received 667 signatures. The petition can be found at www.change.org/p/belle-s-ice-cream-pro-belle-s-ice-cream-truck-in-the-community?
