Representatives from the Recreation in Norwood Committee began the conversation with a presentation on the process up to this point and their findings regarding the specific proposed location (the current location of the tennis courts at the Coakley Middle School), the benefits to the town and the management of the rink. Bill Naumann (…

Ms. Bailey's request to have a resident of South Norwood on the RINC committee is again being excluded and denied. Whatever word used,tabled, on hold, etc., Plasko and the selectmen are not using any means of inclusive nor a spirit of cooperation. So, let's endorse all the "uptown boyz" do what they want because as usual we have no say. BTW Allen Howard does NOT represent South Norwood. Again, a … more ›
