Good Morning Friends,
You will awake to light clouds and the sun starting to peak out. Temps are in the upper 50's and will reach the upper 70's later today. There is no rain in the forecast for today.
We had one call for fire service yesterday. At 06:08hrs units were dispatched to the 300 block of Laurel Ave for a CO detector call. We had 12 calls for EMS service yesterday. All Horsham roadways are accident-free at this time for your morning commute. (06:35hrs)
As we celebrate the unofficial start of summer it's worth pointing out a few things summer brings us here in Horsham. First and foremost is Horsham Day! This is a great chance to come out and meet fellow Township residents, businesses, and of course your emergency services teams. ❤️🤍🩵
Summer also brings the ever present solicitors into our neighborhoods. Here in Horsham we do have certain rules governing their conduct.
Every peddler shall, in the carrying on of his or her business or activities in the Township, comply with the following rules of conduct:
A. The peddler shall carry official identification, such as a driver's license, upon his or her person at all times and shall exhibit it upon request of any person to whom the peddler is attempting to peddle to.
B. The peddler shall not enter or attempt to enter any dwelling house or place of business without invitation or permission of the occupant and shall immediately leave the premises upon request.
C. The peddler shall only engage in peddling or soliciting within the Township on Monday through Saturday during daylight hours. No peddling shall be allowed on Sundays or on any state or federal legal holidays.
D. The peddler shall not call out or shout to sell his or her services or goods, nor shall the peddler use any loudspeaker or horn or other device for announcing his or her presence by which the public is annoyed.
E. The peddler shall not occupy any fixed location upon or along any of the streets, alleys or sidewalks of the Township for the purpose of peddling or soliciting, with or without any stand, counter or cart.
F. The peddler shall not peddle in any Township park without first acquiring a permit from the Township's Zoning Officer.
G. The peddler shall not park any vehicle upon or along any of the streets, alleys or sidewalks of the Township for the purpose of sorting, rearranging or cleaning any of his or her goods, wares or merchandise or of disposing of any carton, wrapping material or of any stock or wares or foodstuffs that have become unsaleable through handling, age or otherwise.
If you are concerned about the conduct or legitimacy of a peddler we suggest not opening the door or confronting the solicitor. Call 9-1-1 and request and officer be sent to investigate.
Please note the following persons are exempt for the ordinance:
Persons or organizations engaged in door-to-door canvassing on religious or political subjects, or distributing religious or political handbills, shall be exempt from the license requirements of this chapter. All such persons, however, shall carry official identification, such as a driver's license, upon his or her person at all times and shall exhibit it upon request of any person to whom the peddler is attempting to solicit.
Have a terrific Tuesday and always remember we're all in this together.
