City View trailer park getting cleaned up

NORWICH – Neighbors along Crandall Avenue say after years of struggling to do something about the trailer park that has plagued the neighborhood with the stench of sewage, garbage and rat infestations, the eyesore is finally starting to look better.

City View Trailer Park, which neighbors say started causing problems over a decade ago, rapidly worsened roughly three years ago as water and sewer problems led to a court-ordered eviction of the park’s tenants. The tenants residing at the park were given 30 days to remove themselves from the area. Following the eviction, the park stood vacant, despite the reports that one family had returned and was again given notice to leave.



The park, which supported eight residential mobile homes, remained shut down, however the problem intensified due to the fact the trailers were left in disarray and looked as though tenants simply walked away and left their homes “as is.”
