Longer-form draft.
Bradford Planning Board Meeting Accountability Update (April 28, 2026) During the most recent Planning Board meeting, a significant point of tension emerged regarding the financial responsibility for town road maintenance. Residents raised concerns that heavy commercial logging operations are frequently damaging our Class 5 and Class 6 roads, creating 'washboard' surfaces that require frequent grading. Currently, these repair costs fall on the town and its taxpayers. While the board engaged in a discussion regarding the impact of these heavy trucks and the potential need for logging operations to provide bonds to cover damages, no decisive action was taken to implement a bonding policy or any other mechanism to shift these costs away from the taxpayers. In other business, the board unanimously approved the renewal of the Hillandale excavation application on Pleasant Valley Road, subject to specific conditions. The board also adopted updated subdivision and lot line adjustment forms, which will include new driveway permit application requirements by May 2026. We will continue to watch for progress on the road maintenance issue and how the town intends to protect its infrastructure from commercial wear and tear. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/planning-board/2026-04-28/ #MeetingWatch #BradfordNH
