Virtual Meetings at Pittston Township Needed
COVID19 has illustrated the need for easily accesed meeting minutes. (not downloadable PDF files)
For the elderly and house bound population... ,
...WHY NOT VIRTUAL MEETINGS?

RUMOR or TRUTH?
A previously described "public access" road on the corner of Market Street and Grattan ' Gratten Street (near St.John's Cemetery) was SOLD?
How could this be? A resident/ family whose house abuts this "road" was told by a prominent Pittston Township official that was a PUBLIC ACCESS ROAD and not for sale to anyone. The same official(s) allowed thousands of heavy truckloads of dirt - untarped, which is illegal by Pennsylvania law- to travel from the nearby highway project, over the residents' private property all day long for months to build up an "alley". This saved the contracted trucking companies many tens of thousands of dollars because the trucks were not cited for untarped trucks carrying loads of dirt. The dirt was dumped behind a private residence, and the months of all day long dump trucks filled with tens of tons of dirt caused a great deal of damage to the private dwelling., Restitution was promised at a public meeting, but was quietly denied later via a phone call.

Again, the Pittston Township resident whose property was trespassed over was NEVER consulted nor did they give permission for the trucks to go over their (then) pristine property. The constant vibrations did tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage to the very recently blacktopped basketball court, done for their children. The chain link fence, which cost several thousand dollars, and the netting atop the fence to stop a stray ball from going over it, was permanently damaged and had to be taken down.

When the residents complained at a Pittston Township meeting, promises were publicly made to restore the property to prior pristine condition. The promises were never kept. And no record of the resident complaint was entered into the meeting minutes.

To this day, not a PENNY of compensation has been paid by the Pittston Township family for the damage. The family spent many thousands of dollars and time restoring the property to its present day condition.
So now the ROAD has been sold? To whom?
