Woodstock is looking to keep methadone clinics away from the city's schools. A report is coming to city council Thursday night, talking about how the city might be able to put some regulations on any new clinics that come to the city. They're now being called MMT's, Methadone Maintenance Treatment facilities. Right now there's a temporary interim control by-law in place, preventing any new MMT's from opening in the city. However, it runs out in the spring, and Woodstock Mayor Pat Sobeski says the city is weighing its options. "We've been looking at what other municipalities have been doing, and any recommendations that have come forward. By-laws have been tested in the courts, and generally, municipalities have been unsuccessful." Sobeski says it looks like the city will have more success regulating where the MMT's can't go, rather than where they can go. They're looking at creating "buffer areas" around schools and the Library. In the report to council, the suggestion of 50-100 meters for a setback. Details are still preliminary and public meetings will be held in November, and possibly December.
