Residents press selectmen on speeding; board advances public discussion of speed‑camera ordinance

Multiple residents told the board Aug. 3 that speeding on local roads — particularly Wellington Hill Road and a sharp curve by a pond — has become dangerous, citing frequent observations over 60–75 mph and a fatal hit‑and‑run near one resident’s home. Joe Ferris, who lives on Wellington Hill Road, told the board he recorded speeds "up to, like, 60 miles an hour" at a local crest and asked for physical calming measures or increased enforcement.
