New London Board of Selectmen Meeting Summary: May 19, 2026 Several key items were discussed during Monday's meeting that require resident attention, specifically regarding public safety and town infrastructure. The Board has begun reviewing five proposals for the town's dispatch services. Because the selection of a dispatch vendor directly impacts emergency response capabilities, the upcoming interviews will be a critical period for our community to watch. Regarding local infrastructure, the Pocket Park proposal moved forward with a commitment that construction will not commence until all necessary funds are raised. This is a vital distinction intended to protect the town from financial risk. However, questions remain regarding long-term maintenance and how the project will impact local drainage and stormwater runoff near Main and Pleasant Streets. Finally, the ongoing issue of municipal parking was raised. A resident proposed using school parking lots during the summer to alleviate pressure in the town center. While the Board engaged with this idea, it remains a localized suggestion rather than a comprehensive solution to the parking challenges facing our local businesses and residents. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/select-board/2026-05-19/ #MeetingWatch #NewLondonNH
