Before, Don Vaneck wanted the town to install a fence to keep out trash...
...and after the Town of Hempstead installed a new fence around the Bellmore lot.
The Town of Hempstead has kept its word to Don Vaneck and his Bellmore neighbors, installing a new fence around a town lot that’s been fence-challenged.
We featured Vaneck in a column last month after he contacted us because fences around the lot have fallen apart or disappeared after being vandalized. That problem left the lot, which contains a box culvert pipe to stop occasional flooding, open to large trash deposits and graffiti-makers.
Town spokesman Michael Deery told us that residents in the area would be polled about their fence preferences. Earlier this month, 60 feet of new vinyl-coated chain-link fence that cost $2,500 was installed. Vaneck’s wife Regina declared, “This is much more appealing to the eye.”
