It's our turn Shea Terrace. Please park vehicles in driveways as much as possible this week to allow for Street Sweeping!

Street sweeping is scheduled August 17 - August 21 in multiple Portsmouth neighborhoods.

For optimal cleaning, please remove vehicles from the street by 7 a.m. On-street parking may resume at 4 p.m. Streets will not be swept on normal trash collection days.

I lied at the July Civic League meeting. Technically it was more of a miscalculation. We said that we would lead an evening trash pick up walk for 1 hour on the first Monday of each month at 6pm. Life happened and we cant follow through for August.

BUT! We did dedicate our after dinner walk this evening to an impromptu trash pick up on the front end of Constitution and around the park.

Please forgive us our sins and we hope to see you all next month!

📢 Neighborhood Solicitor Tracker Form 📢

Hey neighbors! To help keep our community safe, informed, and connected, the Civic League has set up a quick reporting form to track recent door-to-door sales activity across the neighborhood.

If an unwelcome solicitor knocks on your door, please take 30 seconds on your phone to log the details here:

🔗 https://forms.gle/comPrkTqVHrTA2by8

Why report?

Helps us spot patterns of active door-to-door companies.

Documents cases of solicitors ignoring "No Soliciting" signs or knocking past dark.

Gives us time stamped data to share with code enforcement or local officers if aggressive behavior occurs.

This post is pinned to the top of our page so you can easily find it whenever you need it. No personal info or exact address is required!

Have you had a negative interaction with door-to-door sales? While some businesses are legitimate, we want to ensure everyone's privacy and property rules are respected. To help us spot patterns and track aggressive or unauthorized soliciting, the Civic League has created a centralized tracking form...
