Today at the Westminster Elementary School from 630pm to 830pm there will be an open meeting on the proposal by the Board of Health for a ban of tobacco sales in Westminster. We are anticipating a large number of attendees for this meeting.
With that we ask a few things. Please park in any areas designated for parking. Please do not park on the grass or any location not specifically designated or specifically posted “no parking”. Do not park in any designated “fire lanes” or in any way to interfere with response from emergency services (Fire and Ambulance).
Parking will be allowed in any of the parking lots and surrounding streets, unless otherwise posted. Parking will be allowed on one side of Academy Hill Road, and Leominster Street.
All media outlets planning on attending and reporting on this meeting are asked to park all satellite vehicles on Academy Hill at the Town Common. If any vehicle is found parked in a location that is not designated for parking it will be towed at the owners expense.
Lastly, please understand that there are rules to this meeting that are out of our control. We ask that all participants respect and follow these rules in effort to allow as many people as possible to express their opinions in a polite and respectful way, whether they are for or against the proposal.
Should any participants act or behave in a manner that violates Massachusetts laws, representatives from the police department who will be in attendance will respond accordingly. We do not anticipate that there will be any issues.
Thanks in advance.
Respectfully,
Chief Salvatore Albert Westminster Police Department
