W A Y N E C O U N T Y Speak Your Mind! 4 THE BUZZ AROUND WAYNE COUNTY AUGUST 2026 I wish the water department didn't charge for sewage when I water my garden. What's going on at Steven's Mill Road across from SEFA? Just before the river bridge heading towards Grantham on the left. Gravel pit? · They need more positive outlets for the youth and teens. With sports, entertainment and After school clubs that are easily accessible and at hours parents can actually help have the youth engage in. · I wish people would clean up their yards. Goldsboro is looking run down. · Please consider a deep dive into the logistics of the WCPS transportation system. Does the data prove that all of the changes were in the best interest of its citizens? What are the "whys" on such a shift on school time changes and bus routes. · How great would our county be if once a week while you're out and about you lifted someone up? Don't reply, just do it. · A better and safer park · Set up designated bus stops for school buses and stop all the nonsense door to door services. No need in stopping at every house or every 100ft. And work on getting a Pi- lot or Flying J. There are no true truck stops east of I-95 and would prove to be a good investment along the new I-42 Corridor. · Red Robin, Del Taco, Buc-ees. I know I'm only dreaming!!! · For the school system we need parents to take the initiative to positively support their children in education. Partnership programs are available. Seek out for the resources. Stop making excuses for not being transparent for your child. Help is out there. · I am originally from Upstate New York. There is a brewery called 'The Speckled Pig'. Seeing how many local people supported making that dream a reality is amazing. The owners may have originally opened the business but it took the entire community to make it what it is together. That's the kind of community spirit I'd love to see in Golds- boro. If enough people want safe, fun places for our youth, why not come together and create them? ·We need higher paying jobs! · No flock cameras, NO data center, and No change to public school start/end time!! Last school year was fine the way it was. Berkeley Park. Turn into a sports complex with travel ball sports such as softball, baseball, tennis courts, lacrosse, etc. Large concession stand with gender appropri- ate restrooms with many stalls to accommodate a large spectator crowd. This would provide space for travel sports. · How is it that Wayne County has only "one" Chic-fil-a? Yet,... .there are "five" Chic-Fil-a's in Greenville! Yes 5! · I wish we had more things for kids to do in Wayne county! So tired of driving to Raleigh or Greenville and supporting other counties when we could have some fun things here!just a thought ! · I would love to see some of the food trucks all get together maybe once a month and have a food truck rodeo. I've seen this in other cities and all the food looks so good❤❤ · More sidewalks · We all need a refresher on RED Yield signs. More kids are being homeschooled now. I'd like to see more social opportunities in the community so they aren't as isolated. Also public art and music classes that people who have several kids can actually afford. And as many others have stated, more activities for middle and high school aged children. · Remove flock cameras, we as citizens didn't agree to be monitored · Wegmans, Eggs Up and Hamricks We all need more Jesus and a Biscuitville would be great! · Please hire bus drivers and protect our kids ❤ · Here's the real Buzz for Wayne County. . . stick your hand out & help someone in need today, or say a kind word to someone who seems down, and smile even if YOU feel down. Help spread positive vibes everywhere, everyday, to everyone. That's something to BUZZ about !!! · Dave and Buster's...A water park like kinston has..and a trampoline park I would love to see farm land that would love to sale partials Fix the roads. · Clean up the rivers and streams to prevent flooding. Money had been in place to do it correctly and never done. · Can we stop people from junking up their yards with cars that don't run? Goldsboro has codes on the books that make junk yard vehicles illegal. Please enforce the codes. Prop- erty values plummet, and we look like trashy rednecks. That is all. Life would be so much easier if people learned to mind their own business The mall needs to be re-done, we are a military town and our mall looks like a thrift store Public transportation from their neighborhood to school for all students! A couple of Country Day Rd residents were told it (Country Day Rd) would be relined... the entire road from Wayne Memorial Dr to Patetown Rd(Hwy 111) over a year ago!! You cannot see lines at all in the dark or rain!! Very dangerous! 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.
