Huntington Mayor clarifies basketball hoop controversy – WSAZ
Overblown, exaggerated and a bit sensational.
That is Mayor Williams description of the social media swirl concerning basketball hoops on city streets in Huntington at Monday night’s city council meeting.
WSAZ reported over the weekend, a few people in the Westmoreland neighborhood say they were upset after being told they have to take down their kid’s basketball hoop.
However the city says they’re only suggesting people move the base of the hoop up from the street onto their property and there won’t be any strict code enforcement of the issue.
The mayor says kids just need to be respectful of their neighbors while adults should be understanding of kids at play.
