The Borough Council plans to pursue a grant to complete work at 1st Avenue.
Royersford Borough Council spent a large portion of Tuesday's meeting discussing work to be done at 1st Avenue and Main Street.

Tom Quigley (R-Montgomery) and Rick Lewis, president of Lewis Environmental Group.

"We're stuck," Lewis said. "I have no way of getting people in and out of there. It's a safety issue; trying to pull out by the old Pretzel Depot there is …

Emergency Management Coordinator Joe Lorman has resigned.
The Spring City Borough Council met for its regular meeting last Monday night at Borough Hall. Among the major topics discussed were the Emergency Management Coordinator position, the Keystone Markers and a request for a new position for tax collection. The major topic of discussion was what to do with the resignation letter of Joe Lorman, former Emergency Management Coordinator for the borough. Lorman submitted his letter of resignation last month. At last month's meeting, council decided to talk to Lorman more in depth about why he was resigning. Council President Lou DiGuiseppe said he felt like he was being held hostage by Lorman's many requests. "He said he needed to have this, that and the other to continue in this position," …

SPRING CITY – Mike D. Hays announced today that he will run for the open seat in the 155th State House District. Hays, 30, was elected to Spring City Borough Council in 2009 as one of its youngest members ever. Now in his third year in local government, he continues working for Main Street improvements, necessary investments in the borough’s infrastructure, and better communication with taxpayers and neighboring municipalities. “Under Gov. Corbett and a Republican Legislature, Pennsylvania is leaving many working families and the middle-class behind,” Hays said. “If elected, I will be an independent representative for the people and not any particular industry or interest.” The newly redrawn 155th includes Spring City, East Pikeland, East …

A multi-part series, conversing with former Royersford Mayor Dave Urner about life, the borough and his seven-plus-year term.
Royersford's Mayor Dave Urner made a truly difficult decision in September. He announced that he would be stepping down just about a year shy of the expiration of his term for personal reasons. His resignation was effective Sept. 30 and in the meantime, the borough council had to make moves to select an interim. Urner took a few hours of his time to sit down with Limerick-Royersford-Spring City Patch Editor Kevin Haslam and discussed everything from the genesis to his term to the wonderful people he's served in the community. In Part I of our series, Urner discussed his seven-year term, as well as the revitalization efforts of the past, present and future in Royersford. Today, we continue our conversation with the former mayor. In Part II …

The council met for a regular meeting on Tuesday night.
Royersford Borough Councilman John Kring gave an additional finance report at Tuesday night's regular meeting that could prove to be a pleasant surprise for local taxpayers. "I just want to take a moment to give forward information to expect for the next meeting," Kring said. "We may have no tax increase this year." Kring went on to say that the finance commitee started out with a $3.88 million requirement to start and panned that number back to the potential for no increases in taxes, which can be attributed to "significant clipping in terms of numbers." "To do that, there are things that will take reductions," said Kring, who noted the street sweep, library and historical society to be among those to have reduced funding. "Some will get …

The Royersford Borough Council met for a regular meeting on Tuesday night to hear commitee reports and appoint a new mayor.
