It is snowing. It is slippery. Be careful.

The snowplowing is performed automatically when the accumulation reported on www.snow.deldot.gov reaches three inches, as per our contract. There is more expected today and with the base of ice already on the ground the agency has been advised by the CCA Board to plow regardless of the final measurement. The plowing should start within a reasonable period after snowfall has concluded.

As always if there are any issues we ask for your patience and understanding while we work to resolve them. Take care and be safe.

Boil Water Advisory

The city of Wilmington issued a boil water advisory for parts of Bellevue and Brandywine Hundred on Wednesday as the Department of Public Works attempts to repair a water main break on Carr Road.

A Note About Awesome Volunteers

Special thanks to a number of individuals who contribute to our neighborhood’s success. For example, recently resident Phil Ford offered to spruce up the entrance signs; with additional plans to perhaps repaint them in the fall. We have a number of fine people that routinely pick up fallen branches and litter from the common areas. Angela May is stellar in managing many of the events enjoyed by our community (Halloween Parade among others).

There are no shortage of actions we can collectively take for the betterment of Carrcroft. If you have any ideas or suggestions (or importantly time) please contact the board using the link on this site.

Thank you 😊

Brentwood Drive Construction

CCA Board was not notified in advance about the construction zone on Brentwood Drive. Any inquiries about this matter should be addressed directly to the county 302-395-5555.

Suspicious activity reported

Alert to our residents— the below message was posted to Nextdoor recently. Please be vigilant and mindful of these occurrences and be sure to report them to NCCPD.

Thanks for joining us!

Thanks to all those who were able to attend the Carrcroft Civic Association meeting on May 9th. It was a pleasure to have so much participation, enthusiasm and engagement from our community. A special thanks as well to those who have agreed to join the Board and (new) Landscaping Committee!

Please remember to lock up!

As a reminder one of the more common complaints on Nextdoor is about individuals peering into cars and homes— potentially targets for theft. Please everyone keep your house and car doors locked and all valuables out of sight. Remember to look out for your neighbors and contact NCCPD regarding suspicious activity.

Evergreen Waste Services discount

CCA Board has received inquiries from some residents regarding a community discount if we get enough people to obtain Evergreen’s services. Evergreen has informed CCA that they require 75% participation to receive a discounted rate. That means recruiting approximately 89 more homes.

The discount would bring the trash/recycling cost down to roughly $84 per quarter or $108 for trash/recycling/yard waste per quarter. There is also a $40 delivery fee that would be waived for new customers. The “grace period” for the fee waiver would be for 6 months after CCA has informed the residents about the program.

Due to space limitations in our upcoming printed newsletter we’re going to rely on this website and Facebook as the means of notifying you. Additionally, Evergreen may send out their own flyers. Should you have any further questions about the program please contact Evergreen directly.

Suspicious activity on school grounds

Today the CCA Board was notified by Carrcroft Elementary School Principal Mark Overly of an increase in suspicious activity including vandalism on the school grounds. These acts are mostly occurring during evening hours and the NCCPD have been notified. Please we urge you to also contact the authorities if further issues are observed. Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving

From the entire CCA Board we wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Also please check the EVENTS page for details of an upcoming holiday caroling event courtesy of Carrcroft Elementary. Tentatively this is scheduled for 12/15, but more details to come!
