Great Job Winder Code Enforcement!

Doesn't Winder City have a great code enforcement department?  Something goes wrong according to Winder City Code and bingo within a few days it is all corrected. A real go getter team of professionals.

Now on the other hand, Barrow County Code Enforcement takes the honor of  taking care of a simple code violation that is on the Barrow County Code List in approximatly 175 days before it was corrected. Don't
be hasty, this was fast compared to one that took approximatly 9 months to correct and another about 2
years. Maybe Barrow County needs Winder's Code
Enforcement Department to give Barrow training on how to handle residents complaints that are code violations on the Barrow County Law Books and should be corrected by those in authority to do so in prompt
manner. Why have these codes on the books if no one is able or willing to correct them. Maybe this is why many people want to join the city of Winder by voting to go over to them.
