Officer Matt Lemos reported 3 calls last month, nothing serious. More than 100 out of state license plates have been confiscated.  Many neighbors concerned about traffic near Bateswood & Waterbury Road, high traffic volume and very poor visibility and speed, also many local roads need lines painted.

 

Guest speaker Tony Cofrancesco spoke on fire prevention and safety measures. Urged residents to watch YouTube video “Why Seconds Count”. Also in case of fire in home, once out, do not go back in. Carbon monoxide & smoke detectors very important. Be sure to check and clean dryer vents on a regular basis
