Ship Bottom officials ended 2022 with a series of comments of appreciation from homeowners for putting the seaside borough and its residents first by taking swift action to ban party rental properties in residential areas.

The comments came during a public hearing on Ordinance 2022-21 at the borough council’s final meeting of 2022, on Dec. 27. The council unanimously approved the measure, which Councilman Tom Tallon called “a very good ordinance.”
