Residents expressed frustration during the recent council meeting over the slow progress in addressing local property issues, particularly concerning a dilapidated house that has become a source of concern in the community. One resident voiced disappointment in the council's performance, stating, \"I am really tired of looking at it every day,\" referring to the ongoing neglect of the property, which has been marked by broken windows and unsecured doors.

The resident highlighted previous assurances from council members regarding the sale of the house, which ultimately fell through. \"I was told that the house was being sold, and that fell through,\" they lamented, emphasizing a lack of communication and follow-up from the council.

In response, council members acknowledged the situation, confirming that the property is on the demolition list and that efforts have been made to secure funding for its removal. \"It's on the way to be demoed,\" one council member stated, noting that the process is not immediate but is progressing as planned. They assured the resident that the matter has been sent to their lawyer and included in the next round of state grants for demolition.

The discussion also raised concerns about the potential for the property to be sold for renovation. A council member assured the audience that if the current owner proposes a purchase, the council would investigate the legitimacy of the offer to ensure it aligns with community interests. The meeting underscored the ongoing challenges local governments face in managing property issues and maintaining open lines of communication with residents.
