Glassboro Residents Voice Frustration Over Persistent Noise Violations at Council Meeting
- Meeting Overview:
During the recent Glassboro Borough Council meeting, residents Anthony and Kimberly Deo expressed ongoing frustration over noise violations stemming from the Double Tree Shopping Center. The couple described being repeatedly woken by early morning dumpster activity and late-night deliveries, notably from a local Aldi supermarket. Despite previous complaints and assurances from waste management companies and business managers, the issues remain unresolved, prompting the Deos to seek further action from local authorities.
The Deos detailed their struggle with noise disturbances, which they claim have persisted for years despite attempts to address the issue through various channels, including code enforcement and direct communication with the businesses involved. They reported that dumpster collections sometimes occur as early as 4:30 AM, impacting their sleep and daily productivity. Kimberly Deo, who works with children with multiple disabilities, emphasized that the disturbances affect her work performance and overall well-being.
Councilwoman Daniele Spence acknowledged the complaints, revealing that she and her neighbors have experienced similar issues. Spence assured the Deos that the council is discussing potential solutions, although specific enforcement measures were not detailed at the meeting.
In addition to the noise complaints, the meeting included the introduction of two ordinances for first reading: one amending the historic preservation commission code and another addressing vehicles and traffic. The council also approved the appointment of Jake Gentiel as a patrol officer for the Glassboro Police Department and authorized a lease for Burger King.
