TAUNTON Dozens of Hopewell Park neighbors want the city’s End of Summer fireworks moved from their neighborhood or canceled.
Leading the effort is Alex Kendzieski of Hopewell Street. For years, he’s warned that firework debris could spark blazes and the noise panics pets, wildlife and residents with medical conditions.
His complaints gained some traction at Tuesday’s City Council meeting, including from Councilor Deborah Carr.
“I don’t want to see any animals get hurt. I get constant calls about dogs being scared to death,” said Carr, saying the park isn’t an ideal location.
“If we can’t find an appropriate place, maybe we shouldn’t do it.”
