There’s no doubt Nelson residents are passionate about the downtown. More proof played out Tuesday afternoon.
Just after 1 p.m., the Nelson Police Department was called to 400 block of Baker Street to deal with protesters who were not happy to see the changes the City of Nelson was making to the amenity areas.
Police say after the constable discussed the matter with the protesters and clarified what the actual work being done consisted of, the two people agreed to stay well away from the work.
City crews removed the stone planter boxes and no further incidents were reported.
