Two separate legal decisions recently rendered in Washington Township have been appealed to Berks County Court of Common Pleas. 

            On Thursday night, Washington Township Solicitor Joan London informed the township's board of supervisors that the township zoning board reaffirmed its approval, with conditions, to permit Diamond Disposal, a trash hauling business, to park its trash trucks on a 7-acre site it owns along Old Route 100.
