We still have vacancies at our Highway Department. The posting for the vacancies is on the town website.

Lois Scribner has tendered her resignation as the Planning Board secretary. Lois has also done recording secretarial work for the Conservation Commission, Historic District Commission and the Solid Waste Committee. We want to thank her for her hard work and wish her well in the future. We are looking for someone to replace Lois as the Planning Board secretary. This would be a “recording secretary” position, as our new Land Use Administrator will take over the clerical duties that Lois did in preparation of Planning Board meetings. The job posting is on our town website.

The Board of Selectmen will be hosting a community meeting on June 6 at 7 pm at the old Town Hall to discuss the issues with Lyford Pond Dam. Representatives from N.H. DES and Shaker Village will be attending.

The gate at the Riverland Recreation Area is open from 7 am to 8 pm. Please remember that the river current can be unpredictable and use safe swimming practices.

One of the large maple trees in the Center near the cemetery has been determined to be a danger to both the utility lines and cemetery because of disease and rot. The removal of the tree was approved by the Board of Selectmen, Historic District Commission and Cemetery Trustees. A replacement tree will be planted in the future.

The regular Board of Selectmen meetings are June 3 and June 17.

The deadline for registration of dogs was April 30 so if you have a dog and have not registered them for 2024, please do so as soon as possible.
