🚨 Transparency Alert: The official minutes published for the May 7 Board of Health meeting appear to be completely unrelated to the actual proceedings. Instead of recording property condemnation, they discuss a 300th Anniversary Committee from 2022. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #BedfordMA

The real issue on May 7 was a hearing for 30 Selfridge Road. The Board issued a partial condemnation order due to a 7/9 clutter rating, fire hazards, and biohazards. This is a major decision with criminal implications if not resolved by May 18.

Longer-form draft.
Significant transparency concerns have emerged regarding the Town of Bedford Board of Health meeting held on May 7, 2026. The actual meeting centered on a high-stakes hearing for 30 Selfridge Road, where the Board voted unanimously to issue a partial condemnation order. The property was cited for severe fire hazards, unsanitary conditions, and a high clutter rating. The Board has mandated that the resident provide signed contracts for biohazard cleanup, pest control, and electrical repairs by May 18, or face potential criminal charges. However, the official minutes published do not reflect this discussion. Instead, the minutes appear to be for a completely unrelated 2022 committee meeting regarding the town's 300th anniversary. This is a major issue for civic accountability. The resident’s testimony—including her expressed inability to meet these mandates due to physical and financial constraints—is absent from the record. When the Board makes decisions that involve property condemnation and legal threats, the official record must accurately reflect the evidence and testimony presented. Residents deserve to know that the town's decisions are being documented correctly. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/bedford/board-of-health/2026-05-07/ #MeetingWatch #BedfordMA
