Town considers beach parking fees for town and nonresidents
Town Manager Harry B Flood outlines a potential plan to charge for parking and beach use that would still allow nonresidents who are town taxpayers the same access as residents. The proposal, discussed at the April 1 meeting, seeks fees from one to five dollars with special rates for bus arrivals, but no final plan has been set. The council fears beach charging could push locals out and overcrowd Stratford paths. Property deeds filed show transfers on King Street and East Main Street.
