SPEAK YOUR MIND!!

Come on US post office on Cashwell Drive… can we not get those seven or eight major potholes fixed that is killing our tires?


GOLDSBORO has NOT had a decent proactive mayor since Hal Plonk--did I stutter?

Democrats run/own Goldsboro--here's a news flash--its only gonna get worse!


To our valued customers of Circle K on Berkeley, please if you insist on leaving your

trash at our gas pumps, then please just place them outside of the dumpster area.


Teach the kids in Drivers Ed that the left lane is meant for passing, not the right!


Make Rosewood its own city................. do it now.


I was promised that the taxes would not go up, but guess what!


When will we get a good healthy restaurant with a nice salad bar? I tried of all those

greasy hamburger places! Just not working for me!


Need a nice dog park where seniors don’t have to take a hike to get to it. The one on

Ash is not safe!


Repair and repave Washington Street in La Grange!!


Once you get 65, senior citizens should not have to pay any kind of taxes EVER again!


Hwy 13 South by the Fairgrounds, bad death toll. That’s all I can say!


Let the drummers practice down town, please


When did school busses become a convenience? I feel like on average, one day a

week my kids don't have a ride to school. This week, it's 3 days.


Traffic cameras needed for people driving through red lights and stop signs all over the County!


Tell our mayor to leave these kids with the drum line alone! They shouldn't be punished for having talent... there are worse things they could be doing!


If you live in the city, you should only pay city taxes. County taxes are unfair if you're not getting county services.


How about two politicians that are making an eyesore out of Wayne County by

plastering their signs all over the place?! They should be ticketed for littering!


Bring in an A&W restaurant or a Steak N Shake.


Please stop building so much stuff on land with so much value and heritage. There's plenty of housing and not enough people studying the land before they just sell/buy and build randoms stuff like 50 Dollar Generals.


Our tap water is terrible!


Get our kids some reliable school buses and some drivers.


Leave the drummers alone.


The property taxes are raising an insane amount...Signed a small business owner!


Make Panhandling illegal!


Downtown Goldsboro needs more parking spaces and needs to repaint the old spaces along the sides of buildings not on Center Street!


Time to take dogs off of chains and they should make those Igloos plastic dog houses

illegal! 


Please stop walking in the middle of the road, wearing all black with 

headphones on!


The city needs to put two speed bumps on Center St, in the middle of the North & South directions! Too many people treat it like it's a drag strip!

It's been years and no action! Fix crime, better/more cops. Fix the roads, fix the schools, fix the car noises with mufflers optional! Property taxes are robbery!


Property tax money, where is it going? And I thought the State Lottery money was for

schools and to give teachers more money? When is that going to start happening?

Stop raising taxes! Seems our tax rate is higher than Wake County and what do we get for it?


Animal control in this county is God awful! I love animals but sometimes this county

feels like an unregulated petting zoo.


Lack of accountability within our public school district. Seems like every school has the same problems and administrators seems like they don’t want to cause problems with pillar parents.


The northernmost community is Fremont, not Pikeville.


The Buzz can be found at all Wayne County Libraries, Post Offices, Harris Teeter, many

restaurants, Doctor offices, the mall entrance, Lantern Inn, Dee’s Diner and many other locations throughout the County. You might want to get it by the 1st, as they go quick!


Need a good truck stop. Wayne county has several truckers with no where to park their semi/trailer on their resets.


A turning lane on 581 onto Buck Swamp Rd needs to be added and the turning on Nor Am Road, when where you can do a rolling turn to a gotta stop to turn or slow down drastically. It’s a horrible design!


We need leadership to be out courting industry to our county! Make it a place for new

businesses to flourish! More jobs, better pay and better communities! Also need

Starbucks in Rosewood! Would reduce some traffic on Wayne Memorial.


McClain street is like driving on a dirt road. Been terrible for several years!


Give minority businesses in Goldsboro and Wayne County same fair access to vendor

contracts.


Again, Arrington Bridge Rd and Bill Lane Blvd intersection needs stoplights! Too many wrecks! Also, does Wayne County really need all these storage units? Enough already!


Make Willow Creek a better place for our citizens to rehab / and live there! I went to see my cousin. He had roaches in there!


We need stiff animal abuse/neglect laws. Maybe if they had cheap funding to get your animals fixed, it would help control the pet population!


The new intersection at Royal Avenue and Berkeley (by iHop and Lowe’s area) is

horrific. Not only have I witnessed wrecks but I have had people turn in front of me

when we were within a few feet of one another.


I am 69 years old and love Bike riding for Exercise and Sport. I would love to have more bike lanes to continue this for aging. It allows a chance to get out of the house and enjoy the fresh air and explore our communities as well as meeting and Fellowshipping with others in our communities.


It's a long shot, but we need a Home Depot!




First - THANK YOU for letting it rip in SPEAK YOUR MIND!!


This is YOUR soapbox. Your two cents. Your "I've been waiting to say this" moment.


Got more to say? (We know you do, HA!)


Send it anonmously to averil@thebuzzaroundwaynecounty.com or BUZZ in when you see the next SPEAK YOUR MIND post on our Facebook page.


No filter. No judgment. Just your voice.
