Resident presses county over trash, junkyards on Hatcher Road

Cleveland County Board of Commissioners · April 21, 2026

Summary

A longtime Hatcher Road resident told the commissioners he has reported persistent trash, abandoned vehicles and overgrown lots and said county staff have not followed up; staff committed to a follow-up the next day.

During the public hearing on a rezoning case, resident Burrell Turner used his allotted time to press county staff for code-enforcement action on multiple properties on Hatcher Road. Turner said the problem has persisted "for weeks and weeks," that neighbors had filed complaints including a form asserting abandonment at 109 Hatchery Road, and that he had not received responses from staff he contacted by phone.

Chair asked staff to collect his contact information and promised a follow-up; a county representative told Turner to give his number to "Danny" so the appropriate staff could contact him the next day. Turner said he had been trying for two to three years to get help and asked the board to intervene to ensure property maintenance rules are enforced.
