The Londonderry Conservation Commission is issuing a formal warning: The proposed edits to the Town Strategic Plan are 'gutting' municipal accountability. Here is what happened at the July 14 meeting. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #LondonderryNH
Commission members noted that significant deletions were made to the plan, specifically removing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Without these metrics, the town loses its ability to measure progress and hold departments accountable.
One member noted: 'If you don't know where you are, you don't know where you're going.' They argued these changes remove the 'connective tissue' between town boards and departments, making oversight much harder.
The Commission isn't staying silent. They have voted to draft a strongly worded formal objection to these deletions to ensure transparency and performance tracking are not permanently lost in the town's planning process. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/londonderry/conservation-commission/2026-07-14/
During the July 14 Conservation Commission meeting, members raised a serious alarm regarding proposed changes to the Town of Londonderry’s Strategic Plan. According to the Commission, recent edits to the plan have effectively 'gutted' it by deleting key performance indicators (KPIs) and other accountability measures. Members expressed deep concern that these deletions remove the 'connective tissue' between town departments and boards, making it nearly impossible to measure progress or ensure that town goals are actually being met. One member pointed out that without these metrics, the town loses its ability to track whether efforts are succeeding. This isn't just a procedural change; it is a direct hit to municipal transparency. When you remove the tools used to measure performance, you remove the ability for residents to hold their local government accountable. In response, the Commission has decided to draft a formal, strongly worded written objection to these deletions. We will continue to monitor how the town responds to this push for greater accountability. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/londonderry/conservation-commission/2026-07-14/ #MeetingWatch #LondonderryNH
