Town police will hold their seventh annual âStuff a Cop Car with Toys for Totsâ event on Saturday, December 9, at Sand Hill Plaza at 228 South Main Street.

Police will be positioned in front of KB Toyworks from 10 am to 2 pm, rain or shine, to collect donations of new unwrapped toys and donations of money to buy new toys.

The US Marine Corps Reserve, which sponsors the holiday Toys for Tots toy collection program, will provide town police with the use of a box truck to store the collected toys, according to police Officer Maryhelen McCarthy, who organizes the event locally.

Newtown police run one of the largest toy collection programs for Toys for Tots in the area. The toys will be distributed as holiday gifts to needy children in the area.

A Toys for Tots collection bin for donations of toys is located in the police station lobby at 3 Main Street.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
