Code enforcement, police and contractors clear a small encampment on Woodstock Road; town praises staff collaboration

Code enforcement officer Jenny reported an informational briefing to the council on Aug. 12 about a cleanup on Woodstock Road (around 42 Woodstock Road) where two properties had encampment‑type activity. Jenny said one property owner cooperated and hired a remediation contractor (Servpro) to remove debris, while the other owner declined to comply and required additional outreach. The town’s behavioral‑health liaison and officers Oscar and John were singled out for repeated direct engagement with residents; staff said the liaison provided on‑scene support to residents during the cleanup. The town credited the coordinated approach — repeated outreach by code enforcement, on‑site police presence during cleanup and a remediation contractor — with resolving the immediate public‑nuisance conditions. No enforcement resolution or citation data were reported; staff said they would continue monitoring the area.
