Cold and windy weather have hit our region.
Delaware County’s Cold Weather Plan – put in place each year to assist the elderly, vulnerable and homeless during extreme weather conditions – provides resources offered through various agencies and networks including the Delaware County Division of Adult and Family Services, the Office of Services for the Aging (COSA), the Department of Intercommunity Health, and Community Action Agency of Delaware County. Resources such as shelter, food, and information on low-income energy assistance programs such as LIHEAP, and PECO’s energy assistance programs are also available.
A code enforcement officer is responsible for evaluating private properties and public grounds against local codes, responding to citizen reports, answering citizen questions about the codes, issuing citations for code violations, performing field inspections, and evaluating new construction or renovation projects. Some code enforcement officers are certified police or peace officers.

Job duties for code enforcement officers; include but are not limited to, the following:
1. All issues reported on any property in the Borough;
2. Any grass, trash, snow or complaint that is reported;
3. Any wintertime snow issue, such as sidewalks that are not cleared of snow with 24 hours after a snowfall ends;
4. Any issues on any private property or business property; and
5. Any abandoned vehicle on private property, which means any vehicle without legal tags or up-to-date inspections, as well as any vehicle with flat tires, damaged windshields, and containing any damage that results in the vehicle being unroadworthy.
This is a full-time position with benefits. Applications are available online or in person at Yeadon Borough, 600 Church Lane Yeadon, PA 19050. Yeadon Borough is always accepting applications.
The County has created a survey to identify residential and commercial locations that don’t have access to broadband internet or that have limited access in order to identify places where broadband infrastructure does not exist or places that do not meet the minimum speed suggested by the FCC for appropriate service.
All residents and business owners are urged to take the survey. More responses will lead to more accurate data to help the County bridge the digital divide.
A technical note regarding the survey: We ask that respondents do not take the survey using cellular data. You can complete the survey on your phone, but only if connected to your residential or workplace internet Wi-Fi.
Those without internet access at home can visit any Delaware County library, municipal building, State Senator’s office, or State Representative’s office to connect to Wi-Fi to complete the survey.

The survey is expected to be available through January 14, 2022.
On behalf of all of us at Yeadon Borough, we wish all of you a Safe, Healthy & Happy Thanksgiving!
On Monday, November 1, 2021 through Thursday, November 4, 2021 from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. there will be traffic restrictions on Lansdowne Avenue from Elder Avenue to Baily Road in order to connect the sewer line.
October is National Weatherization Month. Weatherization provides a cost-effective permanent solution for reducing the heavy energy burden on low-income Americans. As the cold weather approaches, most families across the country are turning up their thermostats to combat dropping temperatures. For low-income families, however, cranking up the heat is not always an option. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, these families pay 16.3% or more of their annual incomes for energy compared to 3.5% for others. However, Weatherization can help low-income families save an average of $283 per year. The Weatherization Program is available to help make low-income households more energy efficient.
The Weatherization Assistance Program in Delaware County is administered by the Community Action Agency of Delaware County, Inc. (CAADC). The program provides quality energy education and home conservation modifications. CAADC also provides Weatherization services in Lebanon, Chester, Montgomery and Lancaster Counties. All services are free of charge. Visit https://caadc.org/services/energy/ to learn more.
Edward T. Coleman, Chief Executive Officer of CAADC, urged, “This program can make a real tangible difference immediately to those already on a strained budget and continue to help them in the future. This is an excellent time to call and get fast service before winter arrives and the program gets very busy.”
Funding for this program is provided by the PA Department of Community and Economic Development. Income guidelines do apply. To apply for the Weatherization Program or for additional information, residents can contact CAADC at (610) 521-8770.
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps low-income families pay their heating bills. Households in immediate danger of being without heat can also qualify for crisis grants. The cash grant is a one-time payment sent directly to the utility company/fuel provider to be credited on your bill. These grants range from $500 to $1,500 based on household size, income, and fuel type. LIHEAP is a grant. You do not have to repay it. More information can be found at https://www.dhs.pa.gov/Services/Assistance/Pages/LIHEAP.aspx
To receive help:
• Apply between Oct. 18, 2021 and May 6, 2022.
• You don’t have to be on public assistance
• You don’t need to have an unpaid heating bill
• You can either rent or own your home
