Tree Men Cited in Failure To Burn Dumped Trash
Bennington selectmen criticized local treemen at a Tuesday meeting for not burning brush dumped on town land as required. The brush was being dumped near a loading corral, causing access issues, with officials considering changes to the dumping plan and proper use of a ravine or landfill. Also discussed were Peacock’s permission to store a farm combine in the town barn and a proposed 82 acre residential development east of Convent Avenue requiring a six inch sewer line tied to the Pageant Street interceptor.
