WEST MARLBOROUGH: Continuing parking problems at the Whip

At the March 1 meeting of the West Marlborough Township supervisors, three Springdell residents told the board that patrons at the Whip tavern are parking on their properties and littering.
Chester "Chick" Rogers said one bar patron parked on his property and even gave him a hard time when he told him to leave.
Ron Heath, who lives next to the tavern, said patrons moved the rocks he put up on his property to keep people from parking there. He said he has noticed that most of the patrons are not "locals."
Brian Gouge said, "I've never dealt with what I'm dealing with now ... It's really become a hassle."
Bill Wylie, the supervisors' chairman, told the residents that he sympathized with their plight and assured them that "we're working on it."
The parking problem at the Whip has been an ongoing source of conflict in the township. Mr. Wylie said issuing parking tickets doesn't seem to work, as customers consider it to be simply part of the evening's cost.
