Warrington Township Disables Social Media Comments to Curb Inappropriate Content
The township will be disabling comments on its social media channels due to an increase in inappropriate and vulgar content. The manager explained that social media is intended for updates and education, not as a platform for personal attacks. Alternative communication methods for residents include direct messaging on social media, calling the township, emailing, or visiting in person. Staff are also developing a more user-friendly system for residents to submit concerns and complaints via the website. A disclaimer will be added to social media pages directing residents to these alternative communication channels.

Warrington Township Welcomes Two New Police Officers
Warrington Township officially swore in two new police officers, Michael Roberts and Megan Stewart. Lieutenant Gottenberg administered the oath of office, with Judge Stacey Wortman officiating. Officer Roberts, originally from Jameson, PA, holds a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Westchester University. Officer Stewart, from Holland, Bucks County, PA, earned an associate's degree in criminal justice from Bucks County Community College. Both officers successfully completed the Montgomery County Community College Municipal Police Academy. The ceremony included badge pinning and the holding of the Bible by family members.

Township to File Tax Assessment Appeals for Two Properties
The board authorized the township solicitor to file tax assessment appeals for two properties: TMP 50-010-010-006 and TMP 50-007-015. The township identified these properties as potentially under-assessed, meaning their market value may exceed their assessed value. The purpose of these appeals is to generate additional revenue for the township by ensuring properties are taxed at their fair market value. The school district had reviewed these properties but chose not to file separate appeals as the generated numbers did not meet their threshold, but the township recommends proceeding.
