Selectmen address concerns related to Brewster Beach
April 28, 2021WOLFEBORO Clark Road resident Patty Monaghan spoke with some urgency to the Board of Selectmen on April 14 about problems at Brewster Beach last summer.
Her stated concern pertained to alleged drug and alcohol use, a lack of respect for fellow beachgoers, public urination, intolerably loud music, and accumulations of trash. The purpose of her visit to the Great Hall was to urge the board to form a committee, as recommended with passage of the amended Article # 35, without delay.
Monaghan indicated that she was afraid Brewster Academy would once again decide to close the beach, which it leases to the town, in August (which she attributed to being a result of the aforementioned events), further exacerbating current restraints on town beach admission.
