Those with outstanding fees in Lansford have several weeks to pay back their dues with no additional charge.

The borough police department posted on its Facebook page that the department is offering everyone a chance to pay overdue or forgotten parking and quality of life tickets.

However, the offer ends May 15, according to borough police Chief Jack Soberick, who estimates there are easily over 100 tickets outstanding.

“They inadvertently misplace them and they forget about it,” Soberick said. “I don’t think it’s done intentionally.”

Soberick said the tickets include parking, snow ban, street sweeping or quality of life tickets.

“Our goal is not giving tickets out, it’s to correct their activities, make them be in compliance and give them a little fine,” he said. “This is an opportunity to clean the slate and start all over again.”

Soberick encouraged residents to bring them in to the police station, drop them off in the ticket box outside or mail them in.

“I think it’s a good opportunity for people to dig through their cars and dressers and bring their tickets in and pay the face value without any additional cost or penalties on it,” he said. “The biggest thing we’re trying to stress is we do not want to be out giving tickets; this is a little slap on the wrist, let’s get this cleaned up and taken care of.”

Soberick said the goal is to “start with a clean slate and move forward.’’

“Our goal is to work with the community and realize this is what we’re trying to accomplish,” he said. “This is your town, this is our town, let’s work together to make it a nice place to live.”

Soberick said all outstanding tickets not paid within the grace period will then be filled as citations, and will include all increases in fines and costs.
