BROCTON — An ongoing civil dispute dating back several months was brought before the Brocton Village Board at its latest meeting. Julie Toad Noble addressed the Board to describe the issues she has faced with the operator of a junkyard next to her business, the Nickel Plate Depot.
Noble stated for several months, she has been unable to receive mail as vehicles have been deliberately parked in front of the mailboxes she installed. Noble said the location of the mailboxes was suggested by the Post Office, but the owner of the vehicle dismantling facility Michael Bellando is preventing her from accessing them.
Noble alleged Bellando is intentionally interfering with mail delivery and receipt because he believes the mailboxes are located on his property. Noble claims the property actually belongs to the village, and asked the village to tow the vehicles on various occasions. Several different vehicles have been parked in front of the mailboxes over the past year, blocking access for the Nickel Plate Depot and the tenants in the upstairs apartments.
