Shopping carts are often found in places around Thompson other than the stores or parking lots where they should be.
On City Beat Thursday, Mayor Colleen Smook indicated the City is working on the by-law for the shopping carts, to make the owners responsible for them and their retrieval.
Smook said Safeway has put a type of “range lock” on their carts, so they can’t be taken past a certain distance.
The City is hoping that other stores who provide shopping carts to their customers will do the same, to eliminate carts from being abandoned around the city.
She added that discussion on the by-law should hopefully be addressed this summer at the council meetings.
