Letter To
The Editor
On Sunday
May 4th a roadside clean-up was done on Shackford Corner Road in
Barnstead.
I would
like to thank Beave, Denise, Jeff, Jen, Joe, Karen and Wendy for their
hard work. In all approximately 1 1/2 truckloads of trash was picked up
in just under 3 miles.
I wish
every Barnstead resident would step up and do their part to clean up
these roads of trash. Every little bit helps.
