It is with sadness in our hearts that we have heard of the passing of Sergeant Robert Bickham on the morning of Tuesday, May 4, 2021, at his home from complications from COVID-19 infection. Sergeant Bickham began with the Bernville Borough Police Department, as a Patrolman, in September of 2011 and served the borough until December of 2020. Sergeant Bickham was retired from the Reading Police Department, and currently working for the Berks County Coroner’s Office. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Michelle, and his three children: Kyle, Jeremy, and Ashley during this time of great loss.

Due to the snow and work requirements several borough council members will not be available to attend tonight’s monthly scheduled council meeting. 

  As per borough code, there would not be enough members in attendance to have a qualified quorum, accordingly there will not be a borough council meeting tonight.

The contracted plow service for the borough is getting a few hours of sleep and will be back out to remove the piles of snow from the snow emergency routes. The snow emergency parking ban is still in effect. I can promise if you are parked on a snow emergency route two things will happen: The first is you will be issued a citation, and the second is your vehicle will be towed by V&M Towing who you can contact at 610.926.3724. With the cold weather and the possibility of more snow later this week it is vital that we can get this snow removed. Once the snow has been removed, I will rescind the snow emergency order.

Trash WILL NOT be picked up on Wednesday morning.
Trash WILL be picked up on Thursday morning instead.

Snow Emergency for the Borough of Bernville will be in effect as of Sunday, January 31, 2021 starting at 6 PM until further notice. Please remove all vehicles from designated Snow Emergency routes. All residents will be notified when the Snow Emergency is lifted. We thank you for your cooperation during this time.
