Longer-form draft.
During the April 20 Select Board meeting, several issues surfaced that highlight the ongoing tension between administrative control and community transparency in Bradford. A significant discussion occurred regarding financial oversight. Pat Morland, a committee member, requested more in-depth access to town financial records and office space. The Board ultimately decided against this request, maintaining that the information currently provided is sufficient and that access to files should remain strictly through the treasurer and bookkeeper. On the community safety front, the Board is addressing concerns regarding Old Warner Road. A follow-up with the Police Chief has been assigned to discuss the reinstallation of speed bumps, a move that directly impacts the safety of the 25 children who use that road for soccer programs every day. Lastly, the Board addressed the future of the Community Center. Rather than focusing solely on short-term maintenance, the Board signaled a move toward a long-term strategic vision. They emphasized the need for facilitated community discussions to ensure that the future of this central municipal asset is shaped by residents, not just a small group of officials. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/select-board/2026-04-20/ #MeetingWatch #BradfordNH
