WEST BRADFORD TWP — West Bradford Township has abandoned plans to relocate a historic early-20th-century home at 1401 Marshallton Thorndale Road after contractor bids pushed the cost of moving the structure to nearly $600,000 — a 54 percent jump from early estimates. The home, believed to be a Sears catalog house, sits in the path of a planned $4 million roundabout at Marshallton Thorndale and Poorhouse Road. The township, which purchased the full five-acre property for $790,000 rather than pay nearly as much for just a quarter-acre, now plans to demolish the house, subdivide part of the land into residential lots for resale, and retain an industrial parcel near the new roundabout.

WEST PIKELAND TWP — West Pikeland Township's Environmental Advisory Council is calling on residents to roll up their sleeves for a community park stewardship event on Saturday, April 26. The Love Your Parks volunteer day begins at 1 p.m. at the West Pikeland Township Building parking lot, where attendees will assemble before breaking into small groups to head out to local parks.

No prior experience is needed, and organizers emphasize that any level of participation counts — residents who can only spare an hour are just as welcome as those who plan to stay the full afternoon. Interested volunteers can register in advance online here.

UPPER UWCHLAN TWP — Upper Uwchlan Township is hosting a free CPR and AED training session this Sunday, April 19, offering residents a no-cost opportunity to learn skills that can save a life in a cardiac emergency. The class runs from 9 a.m. to noon at Upland Farm Barn, 301 Pottstown Pike in Chester Springs, with parking and access available off Darrell Drive. It is open to participants age 9 and older, making it a practical option for families looking to build preparedness skills together. Register online here
