Tantallon News

Important: The November 20 meeting of the Tantallon Citizens Association will be held at Harmony Hall in the Silesia Room starting promptly at 7 PM. Two of our recent porch pirate victims will give you a first hand account of how they helped our police bring the culprits to justice. Police detectives will give us their view as well. It should be very interesting to hear and an important lesson for all of us to learn.

If you have an interest in drainage problems you should attend a meeting with Councilman Sydney Sydney Harrison, DPIE, DoE and DPW&T on Friday, November 22, 2019, 7pm, at the District VII Police Station.
The communities that initiated this event are compiling a list of drainage issues to be provided in advance to county government reps. The list has columns for address, name/email/phone, problem, and current status (what's been done so far. I would include 311 service request number). Given in advance, this information will help get you a response at the meeting. If you want your problem addressed at the meeting, you can send this information to me at weissster@gmai.com. Ron
