Longer-form draft.
At the April 27 Select Board meeting, a high-stakes public comment brought a serious issue of government accountability to the forefront. Resident Adam Gaston reported that a family was displaced due to mold and toxic exposure, alleging that Exeter’s code enforcement officers failed to respond to evidence of landlord negligence and legal breaches. The situation at 11 Chestnut Street raises urgent questions about whether town departments are effectively protecting residents from hazardous living conditions. In response to the outcry, the Board promised an immediate investigation, with the Interim Town Manager tasked to look into the claims the following morning. Beyond this immediate crisis, the Board also made several significant decisions impacting the town’s long-term finances and infrastructure. This included a 4-0 vote to amend a loan agreement to $2.5 million to fund the final design phase of the new surface water treatment plant, and a discussion on 'Complete Streets' guidelines that will change how future road projects incorporate bike lanes and pedestrian safety. We will continue to monitor the results of the code enforcement investigation and the progress of the water treatment plant funding. Residents deserve to know that both their health and their tax dollars are being managed with transparency and diligence. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/select-board/2026-04-27/ #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
