Keep Strong’s Neck Pristine: Join the Great Brookhaven Cleanup

SNCA urges all residents to pick up trash that has accumulated along roadways. Our community cleanup efforts need to be continual, especially along Dyke Rd. We need to enlist the help of all six SN beach associations in this effort. When you do your individual beach clean-ups please remind everyone to please do their part as they walk and bike the area. We have a lot of "community" land that we all enjoy. Let’s all work to keep it clear of paper and trash.

Civic Issues:

-Private land: When you walk, please take care to respect private property and do not cross or dump debris on privately owned land. If you collect grass clippings, try composting rather than dumping; and remind your neighbors to do the same.

-Building Permits: Residents who are making improvements to their homes that require building permits must post the permit so that it is visible from the road.

- Hurricane Preparedness: Please visit Brookhaven.org for a complete 2008 guide to hurricane preparedness.

-Clear Roadways: Instruct your landscapers to park trucks such that they do not block roadways. If your shrubs or trees are encroaching on the roadway, cut them back. Give walkers and cyclists a safe passage area.

-Speeding: Strong’s Neck is loaded with walkers, riders and children. As a result, the entire peninsula is 30 MPH.

- Dogs; Be considerate of your neighbors and pick up after your pets.

Town of Brookhaven:

Historic Signs; - The Town of Brookhaven is replacing the Historic Maker signs of town landmarks in early May.

Hot Line;- Recently the Town instituted a "one stop" phone number for inquiries and requests for services. The number is 451-Town (451-8696).

The directory is in the process of being completed and will go to the printer this Summer.
