Longer-form draft.
Two significant issues emerged from the Andover Conservation Commission meeting on April 8 that residents need to have on their radar. First, there is a serious environmental concern regarding an unauthorized wetland incursion at Bridge Street. The Commission reported that fill has been placed into the Bridge Street wetland without a permit. This activity, which involves the use of heavy equipment, has also raised concerns about unlicensed junkyard activity in the vicinity. While the Commission has notified the Select Board, the Town Administration, and the DES, the violation remains unresolved. Second, the Commission is facing internal divisions regarding its leadership structure. The Select Board had previously suggested moving from a co-chair model to a standard Chair/Vice-Chair model. During the meeting, the Commission debated the change and ultimately voted to reject the suggestion, opting instead to maintain the current co-chair system. As these issues progress—specifically the unpermitted activity at Bridge Street—residents should stay engaged to ensure the town takes decisive action to protect our local wetlands. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/andover/conservation-commission/2026-04-08/ #MeetingWatch #AndoverNH
