Police Reschedule Toys For Tots Collection Event

Published: Dec 10, 2014 12:00 am

Police announced this week that the their Toys For Tots holiday toy drive for needy children, which had been scheduled for two locations on Saturday, December 6, but was not held on that day due to inclement weather, has been rescheduled to Saturday, December 13.

The toy drive is slated for 10 am to 2 pm on Saturday, December 13, for the area in front of The Toy Tree at 14 Church Road, and also for the area in front of TJ Maxx at Sand Hill Plaza at 228 South Main Street.

Police said they are thankful to the people who donated toys at those locations last weekend, even though the event was not held on that day.

Newtown Police officers will have two Toys For Tots collection locations set up for four hours on Saturday, December 5. Those unable to get to TJ Maxx or The Toy Tree between 10 am and 2 pm can still donate to the US Marine Corps Toys For Tots Foundation at any number of collection spots set up in town until December 18.

You are correct, Bruce. I know how hard these plans are to put together, but I still believe that we can have more definitive and measurable goals. I know there are a number of units coming online, and the community truly needs them. If only we can move the development of affordable housing to more of a partnership between the community and the developers than the adversarial tug-of-war it seems to be now, that would be good progress.

Here is the plan Newtown signed on to. https://westcog.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Final-Newtown-Affordable-Housing-Annex_2022.pdf

I agree, but we need to make sure they are pedestrian activated. The ones on Glover were supposed to be by order of the Police Commission, but the ones installed by Public Works were the cheaper flashing light. A couple of extra dollars are worth the lives it can save.

We have been doing the planning work. The State of Connecticut mandates every municipality to develop an affordable housing plan under C.G.S. §8-30j by June 1, 2022, to specify how they “intend to increase the number of affordable housing developments in the municipality.” In lieu of all eighteen municipalities in the Western Connecticut Region duplicating efforts to research, document and analyze affordable housing, the Council of Governments decided to work collectively by splitting the work into two parts: Regional Toolbox Specific, Policy Driven Municipal Annexes.

Great Idea. We used a similar process when Pat Llodra wanted input on Fairfield Hills. very useful.
