Does everyone know we have a 311 service...

Bet you didn't know we have a 311 help service available in our community!

Here she is again...the obsessed with wildlife saftey and respect girl! I just can't help myself...I have to get involved when I am upset and recently I found out that there is a local 311 service whom we can call with any matter of public concern or complaint! Yay! I gotta tell ya, they are awesome! I called them not long ago when a local Beaver who has a den in my neighborhood was hit by a car on Rt. 7. It was upsetting to me to have to pass by him multiple times daily and if you wait for the DOT to clean up, it will take forever! So, I called 311! I did not present myself as a crazy lady, but rather a sensitive citizen who would appreciate the removal of the Beaver. Well, not only was the beaver immediately removed, but I actually got a RETURN PHONE CALL from a 311 rep who informed me that action would be taken! Cool! This service is invaluable to our community! If you have an issue that you don't know how to handle, they are there to help! A fallen tree on your road, or an incessently barking dog that lives next door to you, or whatever social concern you need addressed! Just wanted to Thank them and give the community the FYI that they are there to help and they actually hear you! Next blog will be RE: pet care issues! If anyone has any questions or suggestions for a pet oriented topic, let me know! Thanks! Nancy!
