Ewing Buddy Off to a Strong Start!

Since launching just over a month ago, Ewing Buddy has already proven to be a valuable tool for connecting residents with township services. In that short time, we’ve received approximately 150 submissions—ranging from pothole reports and downed trees to police-related concerns and even two complaints about roosters crowing! We’re proud to report that more than 100 issues have already been resolved, and as we continue to sharpen our skills with the SeeClickFix software by CivicPlus, our goal is to make our responses even faster and more effective. Transparency is a key feature—anyone can go online and see what’s been reported and how it’s been addressed (except for those submitted as private by the resident). It’s a great way to stay informed and engaged. If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the time! Download the Ewing Buddy app or submit a concern directly on our website at ewingnj.org/ewingbuddy. We'd love to hear from you.
