Neighbors Continue Complaints Against Deauville Inn

PETERSBURG – Upper Township Committee held a closed session after its regular meeting Aug. 8 to discuss “potential litigation” regarding continuing complaints about the operations of the Deauville Inn, in Strathmere.
For months, Strathmere residents have been using public comment at committee meetings to detail alleged violations by the Deauville, located at the foot of the Corson’s Inlet Bridge.
Their complaints center around what they say is loud music beyond permissible levels and hours; lack of a sidewalk, which Upper Township Planning Board approval required the Deauville to install for pedestrian safety; and mounting traffic and safety problems given the burgeoning popularity of the waterside restaurant, bar, and beach bar.
