Winter Weather 

​Due to salt shortages, please follow the guidelines below:
In the event of winter weather, follow the parking ordinance from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Should inclement weather occur or be forecasted for 7:00 pm to 7:00 am, please follow the next day’s schedule. We know parking will be tight so if off-street parking is available to you, please take advantage of it.

In an effort to keep the streets plowable and drivable, we are asking that you follow the Monday schedule of the No Parking ordinance if the weather is expected on Wednesday, Friday and/or Saturday. And follow the Tuesday schedule of the no parking ordinance if the weather is expected on Thursday and/or Sunday.
The Emergency Route will be the primary focus for salt/plowing, with the secondary streets being attended to after all primary roads are cleared.

Emergency Route:
1. Queen Street
2. Hanover Street
3. Prince Street from Front Street to Strawbridge Road
4. Strawbridge Road
5. Second Street from Duke Street to Prince Street
6. Third Street from Hanover Street to Prince Street
7. Fifth Street from Duke Street to Strawbridge Road
8. Sixth Street from Duke Street to King Street

As per ordinance 2020-2, remember that all snow and/or ice must be removed from sidewalks and pavements prior to 24-hours after snow has fallen and ice has accumulated. Tickets will be issued for any property that has not removed ice and/or snow from their sidewalks and/or pavements.

Please share, especially with neighbors who may not be on Facebook. We appreciate your help, by working together our streets crew will be able to provide faster and better service. Thank You.

Northumberland Borough and Point Township are developing a joint 10-year plan. The plan focuses on local community and economic conditions that Borough and Township officials can change or influence—along with help from regional partners. Your local leaders want to hear what you like about living and working in the Borough and Township and what changes or improved conditions you would like to see happen by 2035.

As you may know, a new surveillance system has been installed at the Second Street Playground. Any acts of vandalism and/or criminal activity will be investigated and perpetrator(s) will be charged.

REMINDER: Grass clippings on the road are a Quality of Life Ordinance violation. Grass clippings are dangerous to motorcycle riders and cyclists and they clog storm drains. You will get a ticket for a Quality of Life violation if grass clippings are in the road at your property. If you have a landscaping company mowing your lawn for you, the property owner will be receiving the ticket. For more information, please reference Chapter 42 of the Borough of Northumberland Code Book.

The Northumberland Police Department is putting together a list of homes and businesses in our community with outdoor cameras. The list will be confidential; should crime happen in your neighborhood, you would be called upon to check your video system. If you are interested in being part of the Northumberland virtual crime watch, please contact Stacy Hommel, Administrative Assistant, at 570-473-8446, admin@norrypd.com or download the form below and email or mail to Stacy.
