For the more difficult and complex situations we will write letters that that can eventually lead to a lien being placed on the property. This process, though necessary, is time consuming and expensive. Since Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday our trash haulers will take a day off and spend time with their families. This will affect those residents who normally have their trash collected on Thursday. Therefore, TEW will collect all trash in our community on Friday, November 26.
Crime statistics continue to improve in our community especially in the area of violent crime.
Precinct 5 Constables provide paid security patrol in our neighborhood. It is intended that visible presence is, in itself, a deterrent to crime. One area of concern that we hear about is speeding along our thoroughfares. This month it was Shillington. The constables continue to enforce speed limit laws and will continue to ticket those that violate the law.
