Swedesboro Council discussed the continued speeding violations and
safety issues taking place in the community at their meeting on Jan.
17.
Swedesboro Mayor Tom Fromm announced that he had met with Woolwich
Police Lt. Thomas Neale and Woolwich Mayor Sam Maccarone about the
issues that have raised increasing concerns to a number of
townspeople.
Neale suggested the idea of lowering the speed limit to 30 miles per
hour through the entire town, which could be done by a request to
Gloucester County. Neale’s latest police report included six accidents
in Swedesboro. ( In what time frame?)
Fromm believes the police force needs to adopt a zero tolerance policy
on violations, saying, “We need to go at this as hard as we can.”

MICKLETON --After an
extended discussion at their meeting on Jan. 24, the East Greenwich
Township Committee voted to allow the township’s Little League to
continue setting teams’ schedules at the Hidden Acres complex.
Traveling Little League girls softball team the Extremes from
Washington Township expressed grievances about the East Greenwich
Township Little League’s baseball/softball policy, saying they were
being denied access to the fields.
Extremes representatives John Lucian and John Brink said the team had
requested six week day dates at a Hidden Acres field for about 90
minutes to two hours from the Little League from mid-April to
mid-June. But the East Greenwich League said that could cause
potential scheduling problems |

The Shared Services Agreement
Logan Township made with Harrison Township last July is still going
strong. “It’s going well,” stated Logan Township Mayor Frank Minor at
its first Council Meeting on Jan. 17.
“My understanding is that the residents have ironed out any problems
that would normally occur in a trash management situation.” Residents
of both townships appear to have their needs met with Logan’s trash
pick-up schedule, and both municipalities are pleased with the savings
the agreement provides. |

At their Jan. 17 meeting, the
Woolwich Township Committee discussed various ways of reducing
township energy costs. The Committee anticipates that installation of
solar panels on township property would reduce energy costs by up to
98 percent.
Township Clerk Jane DiBella explained that she and Peter Burkett of
Sustainable Energy Generation Group (SEG) previously met to discuss
the project. Burkett installed the municipal building’s current 10
kilowatt tracking units. |
