The link above will take you to the newsletter archives. It a living history of how our town has grown and developed over the last several years.
The Bridgeton Community Watch is now sponsoring a "Welcome Wagon Basket" Program.  March marked the official start of our program when we delivered our First Basket. We feel that this program will be another way of making a new resident not only feel welcome but at the same time offering items in the Basket relative to our Town and its services. If you know of a new neighbor who has just arrived in Town, please call Kim Alexander at 1-215-327-7745. Your call will be appreciated in Welcoming them to Our Town. 
Recycling Reminder
Effective January 1st, 2013, Waste Industries (252 633-2175) began collecting all residential recycling under an updated set of requirements.  Recyclables will only be collected according to the schedule set under the new guidelines which were sent out late last year.  You can pick up a copy of the new guidelines at Town Hall.
    Please adhere to the list of acceptable and unacceptable items and make sure that all recyclables are placed in an acceptable container.  Thank you!

Trash Reminder
Effective February 13, 2018, Waste Industries (252 633-2175) will be collecting all residential trash.
Please be sure to have the correct stickers attached and follow the guidelines issued in the letter to all residents sent out late last year.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Think Life On The River

Picture
Bridgeton means beautiful, gracious Southern living nestled on the banks of the languid Neuse River. In addition to what Bridgeton offers in traditional hospitality, fascinating people from around the world call our marinas home or a restful stopover on a cruise to elsewhere.
Notes from Town Hall

March's town meeting began with an address from Chad Davis of the East Carolina Council of Small Governments reviewing Bridgeton's storm water management.

Lieutenant Johnson delivered the Bridgeton Police Department report as Chief Barney was on vacation. She stressed that after much public complaint the BPD is starting to issue parking tickets for violations. Residents unsure of town ordinances are urged to contact the Bridgeton Police Department, (252-637-2033), for clarification. The tickets carry of fine of $25.00. She also urged all residents to be aware of a new telephone SCAM offering "new" social security numbers to replace existing ones that have been compromised.

There is no such SS number replacement service.

The Bridgeton Police Department has also joined other public safety departments in adopting an elementary/middle school to foster better relations between the police and young students. Our police have, of course, adopted Bridgeton Elementary School and will be visiting students on a regular basis. There was also sightings of Coyotes and Foxes in town proper. citizens are cautioned to keep a friendly eye on pets which are allowed outside. They could now be in danger of these predators.

A resolution was passed to hire a part-time employee to support the Town Hall office. Details yet to be finalized.

Police Chief Rick Barney reported that unfortunately homelessness and domestic violence has increased within town limits and the police are responding to deal with both situations.

The 2019 Blueberry Festival date is still set for June 28-29.

Town expenses were covered.

Bills against the town were authorized to be paid.

The Town Planning Board is looking for volunteers to fill vacancies.
