5. My mailbox was hit during winter operations. Who should I call?: If you are sure that the mailbox was damaged by the Town Highway plow operator, please email the Public Works Office or call 603-643-3327. Oftentimes we will discover that another operator (e.g., plow hired to clean the driveway) was responsible for the damage. Please do not automatically blame us. Our guys work hard and take great pride in their profession. If damaged by one of the drivers, it is neither malicious nor intentional.

6. What happens to the tree that fell after a major storm?: The Town's responsibility is to keep all roads passable. Trees that have fallen into the road will be cut and pushed off to the side. The disposal of the tree is the responsibility of the homeowner. Many homeowners prefer to keep the wood for their own use. If you are interested in any trees you see fallen near the roadside, please contact the homeowner first before taking them.
