Hello, All!

We are pleased to inform you that Gina Tognini, sworn into office at last month's Council Meeting, is serving on Borough Council through December 31, 2025. Councilor Tognini is our new Liaison to the Walk Friendly Newtown and Personnel Committees.

We are also happy to announce that several special events have been planned for the community this month. Click 9-11 Remembrance Ceremony, Newtown Theatre Black & White Dinner, Music in Linton Park, Newtown Rotary Family Fun Fundraiser, Patriots Park Grand Opening and scroll to Events for all the details.

Please remember to bring your reusable bags when you go shopping. Starting September 17, 2024, single-use plastics bags will no longer be provided by Newtown Borough retail establishments. View details about Ordinance No. 799 on the Single-Use Plastics website page.

Our homepage is also where you'll find our calendar that provides the dates, times, and other important information regarding Borough Council and Committees of Council meetings. This month, Borough Council will meet in a Work Session on September 4th and a Council Meeting on September 10th. Our meeting agendas are often posted the Friday preceding the meetings, with an advance notice requirement of 24 hours.

As a reminder, Council Work Sessions are held at Borough Hall and can be watched live on Zoom. The monthly Council Meetings take place at the Chancellor Center and are livestreamed on YouTube. Audio and video recordings are available on the Borough website calendar following the meetings.

Please click 2024 Volunteer Opportunities to see the few vacancies that remain on our Committees, Commissions, and Boards.
