Chatham Chatlist Highlights

Subject: Pittsboro Trash Alley

I stopped to look at the trees on main street again today in Pittsboro- There were no parking spaces, so I parked in the back, near the bakery and walked to main street. What a shock!  The little alleyway between Capitol Bank and 53 Hillsboro street is full of trash and junk. I had caught a glimpse of this the other day and thought I was mistaken – but holy trash! More has been added.  There are bags of trash, cardboard boxes that have been rained on- Many sheets of sheet-rock
that have been there so long, they have gotten wet and are crumbling apart.  The sheet-rock is so far out in the driveway, it has been run over by cars.

Subject: Chatham County’s future? on the Line

Chatham County,

Chatham County is facing an environmental crisis; Jordan Lake is impaired and
Fracking is likely to be forced on us and the main discussion on the
chatlist is snakes and recycling.  Oh we have those big time! Chatham County
also has a few commissioners that don’t seem to be able to think for
themselves.  Remember the game, “follow the leader”. Even if that leader is
taking Chatham County over a cliff.    Where is the research and hard facts
to backup their decisions of the draft Cary Land Use Map with Chatham County?
  Many areas of this recent map should be up for an intense review.  Wake
up every body, we are in trouble.    ****

Hi All,
 
I saw the post on Friday from Chatham County Together about their March 11 Tapas and Tunes. I can’t wait for the event and I’ve already bought several raffle tickets. I like the new twist this year that raffle tickets can be bought online and you don’t have to attend the event to win the prizes.

Subject: Cary Council Land Use meeting

To All Residents of Chatham County,

On Tuesday, January 24th., at 6:30pm, a few Chatham County Residents attended a town hall meeting in Cary.  A very important subject of the Cary/Chatham County Land Use current map.  It is disappointing and embarrassing  that none of the Chatham County Commissioners attended the meeting to hear what their residents had to say.  Mrs. Sally Kost, as a private resident did attend, and she addressed the Cary Town Council eloquently and with purpose.  As did other residents of the areas in question.  Where was Mr. Bock, Ms. Stewart, Mr. Cross and Mr. Petty? I would have thought at least one of the CCC, that is responsible for this map proposal, would have attended.
