If you're a resident, the Lower Saucon Township Police Department will help you install a car seat or double check one that's already installed, to make sure it's correctly adjusted.
It's perhaps a little-known fact that—as part of their sworn oath to protect and serve—Lower Saucon Township police provide free assistance to residents who need help with installing child safety seats in vehicles, township councilman David Willard said at council's May 1 meeting. Willard said he recently installed a car seat in his vehicle for his grandson, but later decided to have a Lower Saucon police officer check to make sure it had been installed properly and according to specifications. Officer Kyle Haggerty checked the child safety seat and made several adjustments to it, in order to maximize its safety, Willard said. The councilman said he was grateful for the assistance and recommended that other township residents be made aware…

A marker describing the Ehrhart's Mill Historic District in Lower Saucon Township will be installed near the Saucon Rail Trail. The district, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is along Old Mill Road and the Saucon Creek.
Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Lower Saucon Township is the Ehrhart's Mill Historic District, which straddles the Saucon Creek at the end of Old Mill Road. To help highlight the district—which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places—the township plans to install an informational historic marker near the Saucon Rail Trail, Lower Saucon Township Council was told May 1.

Even the inexperienced candidate can learn and become a productive member of a board, but combine that with the inability to follow rules or pay attention, and you have a disaster. I received a flyer ON my mailbox from Ms. Louder last Friday. No postage - illegally placed on the mailbox. I understand there were other complaints to the post office. … more ›
