WEST MARLBOROUGH: A quiet month for township business

It was a quiet West Marlborough Township meeting on May 5 (well, except for the birds singing lustily outside the township hall as the sun went down).
Supervisor Hugh Lofting reported that the township road crew was working along with neighboring townships to repair potholes, including the gaping ones on Hood Road in Londonderry Township, just outside of the West Marlborough Township line.
 Hood Road before.
Hood Road after.

In reference to a discussion at the March township meeting, Supervisor Lofting said the township is leaning toward keeping its vintage road grader rather than replacing it.
"It's a very good grader," he said. "At least, for its time."
Township engineer Al Giannantonio said he received no zoning applications in April. Building inspector Eddie Caudill reported that he made two inspections and issued a building permit for a generator that is being installed at a house in the 500 block of Upland Road.
According to Officer Robert Clarke's police report, he worked seven days in April, did one investigation, and handled 21 incidents (including issuing seven speeding tickets, three parking tickets, one ticket for driving-without-a-license and five warnings).
The supervisors also mentioned the refuse dumping and graffiti that have appeared along Big Spring and Thouron Roads. They will alert Officer Clarke to the problem.
