Having moved from Chadds Ford Township to West Goshen Township on June 11 of this year, I recently learned first hand how fabulous our new township is when it comes to important communication between residence and police.
On August 11, a young man in our neighborhood barricaded himself in his home with firearms and after many hours tragically committed suicide. Access streets in our beautiful neighborhood were blocked by police and SWAT teams.
My fiance was home when the police action first started and received a recorded phone call from the township describing the situation and telling which of our roads were blocked off. I was able to get home by a back entrance to our neighborhood. Later that evening our phone rang, and again it was a recorded message from the township telling us that the police action had ended and that our streets were now open.
CNN recently listed West Goshen Township as one of the top 11 places to live in the United States. I can see why.
(Still love you Chadds Ford!)
