Council for the Rural Municipality of Hanover has said 'no' to H&W Rentals.

The business is located along McKenzie Avenue, just west of Bush Farm Road. It had requested to allow an automotive and highway tractor repair shop in an existing structure.

"Council felt it was not a good fit to put it there," says Reeve Stan Toews.

Homestead Crescent is located nearby and there is also a private school to the east.

"We had one lady come and voice some concerns," he adds.

The land is located within the proposed annexation zone, and Toews says if that annexation is approved, Steinbach probably has other plans.
