Residents raised neighborhood concerns during the public comment period at the Lindenwold council meeting on March 25.
Diane Veteri of 637 5th Ave questioned sewer rates for seniors and expressed dissatisfaction with the borough’s animal control vendor, asking for an update. Borough Administrator Dawn S. Thompson said she is working to have the vendor attend a council meeting to address residents’ concerns.
John McGill of 30 Columbia Ave asked about the status of 405 Stone, describing various neighborhood issues and asking whether the owner of a tax‑sale certificate could be contacted and held responsible for maintenance; Council President Cheryle Randolph‑Sharpe said the borough would follow up with Kevin Bagnell. Trevor Shaw asked for an update on a property on Norcross reportedly operating as an illegal rental; he said the matter is tied up in legal proceedings and that he would email the address to council staff for follow-up.
