NAIL ISSUE
The Select Board and the Police Chief regret to inform you that it appears we may have another nail issue in Town. An unusual amount of nails has been found at various locations on Halls Brook Road and on North Groton Road. The State DOT and State Police have been contacted and are aware of the situtation. Everyone has been doing their best to address the situation. The Police Chief, the Highway Department and other town employees have been out looking for nails and have removed what they have found. The State DOT has also been inspecting the roads. Many residents have also been removing the nails as they are finding them. In the event this is malicious, the Town is looking into other options to try to catch who is doing this. If anyone has any information regarding this, please contact Chief Bagan or the Select Board office. If you have cameras, please check them to see if they show anything suspicious. Be safe!!

WINTER PARKING REMINDER
Now that winter has arrived, the Select Board and the
Highway Department want to remind you all to follow the Town
Parking Ordinance which states under Parking Restrictions,
section D:
Snow Removal:
No vehicle shall be parked on any street maintained
by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation or the
Town of Groton in such a manner so as to impede snow
removal. No person shall stop or cause to be stopped, or
park any vehicle, so as to impede or interfere with the
proper snow clearing operations of the NH DOT or Town, when
snow removal operations are in effect.
As you are aware, snow removal
operations are currently in effect. All vehicles found in
violation of this ordinance may be removed (towed) and costs
of such removal and subsequent storage of removed vehicles
shall be at the expense of the owner of the vehicle.
SCAM ALERT
There is a current scam going on in
the area where someone will call the house pretending to be
a family member that has been arrested.
Someone will get on the phone representing themselves
as an attorney or some other official to make arraignments
to pick up cash bail money. ALLWAYS verify directly with the
arresting agency identified. Bail normally is posted at the
location of incarceration or at the court of jurisdiction.
Attempt to contact the family member in question and
always notify your local police department.
FREE COVID TESTS
If anyone needs a COVID test, the Emergency Management Director and the Deputy Director put some on the table at the Town House inside the door. They are free so please help yourself!

NHEC- NH BROADBAND
This is an update regarding the internet service being rolled out by New Hampshire Electric Co-oP (NHEC). They are calling the service "NH Broadband" and they have created a website for the service: NH Broadband: https://nhbroadband.com
On the webiste, there is a place to enter a physical address and express interest in signing up when service becomes available in the area. It asks for basic contact information so they can keep people posted on their progress, there is no deposit or anything like that.
We expect that the areas with the most people requesting service will be prioritized in the build out.
The Town encourages members of the community to express interest if they think they may want to go with the Co-op for broadband. We checked the map and service will ultimately cover all parts of Groton that are served by NHEC for electricity.
Please be aware
that there is a new social security scam where they are
using the Town Clerk's name to get you to pick up the phone.
Please do not give any information and if you are not sure
if the call is legitimate, please hang up and call the Town
Clerk back at 603-744-8849 to see if she did in fact call
you for some reason. Be safe out there!
