HATFIELD TOWNSHIP RINGS IN 2011 BY OFFERING NEW CONVENIENT HOURS AND EXPANDED USES OF
THE COMMUNITY ROOM
|
The Hatfield Township Board of Commissioners will be offering expanded office hours on Wednesdays to 6:00 p.m. to accommodate those residents who cannot utilize township services during the normal office hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Therefore residents, who want to drop off permits, pick up recycling bins, schedule inspections or just utilize township services can do so conveniently. The 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. hours will stay the same on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. The office will be closing at 3:00 p.m. on Fridays. Recent policy changes will now allow for greater use of the township's community room for social functions, such as birthday parties and showers. Continued use for educational, non-profit and homeowners associations will still be permitted. The community room boasts approximately 1,400 square feet of space with accommodations supporting up to 75 people for social functions and 150 people for classroom events. An attached kitchen is an available option that includes use of the microwave, sink and refrigerator for anyone who wishes to serve food and drink. The Township requires that a contract be signed along with a security deposit and room fee. For more information, please visit http://www.hatfieldtownship.org or call 215-855-0900.

 CHESTNUT STREET TRAIL FULLY OPERATIONAL AGAIN
Major bridge work closed the joint Hatfield Township/Hatfield Borough Chestnut Street Trail at the point where it crosses the Neshaminy Creek between Maple Avenue and the Borough municipal boundary. We are pleased to report that, after the completion of the bridge work, the trail is back in service in its entirety again. Citizens on foot or bicycle now have uninterrupted passage from the Borough's town center to the rear entrance of School Road Park. Along the way, trail users can access a number of public parks, including Electric Plant Park, the Hatfield Community Park, and the Chestnut Street Trail Park, and the Liberty Bell Trail. People can use the trail to reach other destinations meeting their business or recreation needs, including the Hatfield Aquatic Center, the Dog Park, the Hatfield Township Police Station, both municipal buildings and the Line Lexington Industrial Park. |

When SNOW is on the way: Help us help you by taking the following steps:
1. Shovel snow away from fire hydrants located on your property. 2. Remove your vehicle from the road during a snow emergency, which is declared if there is over two inches of snow on the ground. Your vehicle could be towed if parked in the street. 3. Check the Township website homepage for snow emergencies at www.hatfieldtownship.org 4. Shovel snow from your driveway or sidewalk onto your front yard, NOT THE STREET. 5. Shovel your sidewalk within 18 hours after the last snowflake falls. Pile snow to the right of your driveway when you shovel. 6. Align your mailbox face with the back of the curb to avoid contact with the plows. 7. Remove trash, recycling bins, basketball nets and all other items from the roadway to avoid damages |
