📰 News we're reading

• New Cherry Hill Childcare, Education Facility On The Way (patch.com) — Families in Cherry Hill can look forward to a second Lightbridge Academy childcare and early education center opening at 41 Coles Ave. in summer 2027, serving children from six weeks through pre-K. The expansion, led by local multi-unit owner Kal Patel, responds to strong demand, creates new education jobs, and includes support for the Cherry Hill Education Foundation to benefit students township-wide.
   

• Camden is using police-operated drones to crack down on illegal dumping (inquirer.com) — Camden officials are cracking down on illegal dumping with drones, mobile cameras, and fines up to $10,000, and say some offenders come from nearby towns including Cherry Hill. With 68 dumping incidents pursued this year, they're asking residents to report violators through the STOPit app so cleanup money can go back into parks, playgrounds, and youth programs instead of trash removal.
   

• From subs to Sloppy Joes, here are some of New Jersey's top sandwiches (northjersey.com) — Several Cherry Hill delis, including Radin's and The Kibitz Room, are highlighted among New Jersey's standout sandwich spots, from towering Reubens to overstuffed corned beef creations.
