Resident urges Whiteville council to address persistent trash on Lewis Street
Summary
A resident told the council trash and other neighborhood neglect on Lewis Street remain unresolved despite meetings including a Sept. 5 gathering at the Dream Center, and urged officials to clarify who is accountable.
A resident who spoke at the meeting said the trash in the Lewis Street area remains and urged the City Council to identify who is responsible. "The trash that I referenced in the Lewis Street cohort that is still there now," the resident said, noting a Sept. 5 meeting at the Dream Center where residents discussed the issue.
The speaker said accountability is a central concern and asked the council and mayor to clarify responsibility for cleanup. The resident also said they saw "council councilor Collier driving by," which they presented as evidence of visibility of the problem. Council members later said manager updates would address public-comment follow-ups and that staff would provide more information after the meeting.
