Overview: During the recent Tuckerton Borough Council meeting, discussions were dominated by legal issues involving the Tucker Volunteer Fire Company and the ongoing concerns about a neglected residential property.

Concurrently, the council addressed public outcry over a dilapidated house impacting neighborhood property values, exploring options to aid the homeowner without resorting to legal condemnation.
