Chester Mayor host Safe Summer Summit

I think everyone is aware that the City of Chester has put in place a Minor’s Curfew Ordinance, limiting the hours that unaccompanied youth can be outside.

This is not unheard of in this day and age--even some Jersey Shore Towns considered places of respite are having to do the same or even ban backpacks because of the youthful behavior or bad choices--but Chester Mayor Stefan Roots chose to do something entirely different in response to the youthful upheaval in his city. He invited all the invested parties to a Summit.

There’s always something very powerful about people coming together to conversate; whether it's families, organizations, or government entities, it makes a bold statement. It expresses the willingness to listen, compromise, and change if necessary.
