WOODSVILLE—The Haverhill Selectboard voted on Monday night to approve ATV access for several months on all roads in Mountain Lakes as well as two class VI roads that will tie into an existing bypass route on town roadways.
Specifically, the board authorized ATVs riders to travel Mountain Lakes roads and use class VI Morse Road and Tewksbury Road, which connects to the existing Augie’s Bypass route traveling along Briar Hill Road. The authorization is not permanent and will only be effective from May 23 through Sept. 30 with 2021 serving essentially as a trial run.

NORTH HAVERHILL—Six years ago, members of the Haverhill Memorial VFW Post 5245 had a vision for a memorial park, honoring all veterans past and present, at the Roland and Florence Clough VFW Field in North Haverhill. Now, with the help of volunteers and local businesses, the endeavor is nearing its final phase, and will be the site of a ceremony on Memorial Day at 10 a.m.
As part of a fundraising campaign for the park, individuals who would like to acknowledge loved ones can purchase custom-engraved memorial bricks that will be placed in the park’s walkways.

BRADFORD—Despite a valid petition, selectboard members in Bradford opted against placing an article on an upcoming special town meeting warning that would require public meetings to be livestreamed.
Last week, selectmen approved a warning for the June 22 special meeting, which is intended to address two items of business left outstanding after the annual town meeting in March. Following the March 2 vote, town officials revealed they inadvertently omitted two appropriation requests by area social services agencies from the municipal budget.

BRADFORD—The Bradford Planning Commission has officially approved Tractor Supply’s plans for a new store on the Lower Plain.
There was a site plan review hearing on May 4 for the new store that would be constructed on a vacant parcel next to Bradford Evangelical Free Church.

CONCORD—For a little while last week, the road funding dispute between Haverhill and Woodsville took center stage, virtually, in Concord.
Legislators from Bedford, Nashua and over 20 other Granite State communities that serve on the New Hampshire House Public Works and Highway Committee listened as more than a dozen witnesses testified about proposed changes to an obscure state law that sets the amount of property tax revenue the town of Haverhill gives the precinct of Woodsville for road maintenance and related expenses.
