Now when you want to contact Councilman Fernando Cabrera, who represents parts of University Heights, Kingsbridge Heights and Mt. Hope, you can avoid the phone calls and just text him.
Cabrera wants to encourage what he refers to as “a new age of communication.”
“Today, calling isn’t always the first option and my goal is to have as many open lines of communication to my office as possible,” Cabrera said.
Cabrera is encouraging constituents to help him in testing out this feature, so improvements, if needed, can be made for future use.
To try this new feature and receive assistance with any issues or concerns, all you have to do is text (347) 541-5768. All standard texting rates apply.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
