CNBNEWS Point of View:
BY William E. Cleary Sr.
At least once a week I receive a Tip or comment about the homeless people sleeping on the porch in broad daylight at a property on North Broadway in Gloucester City. The house is empty, and is up for Sheriff Sale. Posted on the front wall of the building is a sign that reads ‘No Trespassing’.
Just today I received this photo from one of our readers.
My first article on this subject was written in July after hearing from someone about it. The remarks I receive have basically been the same……
But the most prominent was this one; JEERS to the city of Gloucester for allowing a bunch of drunken bums to live on a front porch on North Broadway in plain view. This makes the City look so good!!!\”
Last month I spoke with Gloucester City Police Lt. George Berglund about it. He said the department is working on a solution along with the Housing Office. The Mayor is aware of the situation also.
