If you think East Templeton would make a great town hall, this is your opportunity to submit a letter.
ReplyDeleteA long with E.T. as a town hall, a change to the traffic should be a top priority. I saw a drawing of plans for a rotary in the selectmen's office. I just do not understand how we have not had more accidents there. People tear down 2A from Gardner like it is a race track. Maybe they do not understand it is such a congested area. Ideas are good for everyone to look at., and add their 2 cents. Be nice, everyone has a right to their opinion.
DeletePlease think hard, do you have a neighbor who is elderly that needs work on their house, or any one who could be considered low income that needs septic work, a roof, a new furnace? If you do, send them to the Community Development Office. This is one of the deals that is gone if we don't use it someone else will. Bev.
