Lehighton could eventually change the time visitors are required to leave the Community Grove.

Mayor Clark Ritter broached the idea to borough council on Monday about setting an earlier curfew.

Ritter said it’s his opinion that younger children ages 6-8 should be at home in bed by 8 p.m.

Councilman Ryan Saunders agreed that people shouldn’t be at the Community Grove beyond a certain time.

“I agree; I think 10 (p.m.) is a bit late for people at the Grove,” Saunders said.

“I would be OK with 9 (p.m.).”

Borough solicitor Jim Nanovic noted that the borough does have an ordinance.

It was agreed to bring the matter back up for discussion at next month’s council meeting.
