UPDATE ON NAIL ISSUE
This is an update from the Town regarding the nail issue.
The Town understands how frustrating this has been for
everyone, especially those that have had nails in their
tires.
The original concerns reported that nails had been found on
North Groton Road, between Smith Road and the dump, which is
a State Road so DOT had been contacted. DOT sent a sweeper
out on Tuesday 9/6/22. When the Town received another email
from a resident on Thursday 9/8/22 stating there were more
nails found on North Groton Road, past the dump, the
Administrative Assistant forwarded the emails to the
necessary people and called the State DOT again. DOT said
they were going to pass it on to the Supervisor that there
were more nails found and that they were past the dump since
they were not sure if the sweeper on Tuesday did the entire
road or just from the dump down.
Seeing the emails and voicemails that came in over the
weekend about more nails being found in tires, the
Administrative Assistant called the State DOT again this
morning 9/12/22 and spoke to the Supervisor for our area.
DOT confirmed that they did go out again Thursday 9/8/22 and
Friday 9/9/22 of last week and swept the road again doing
multiple passes both days. DOT also swept the road again
today, 9/12/22, and will continue to monitor the road and
will sweep it again if more nails are found on the road.
Also, the Police Chief, Road Agent and some residents have
been driving the road with their side by sides/golf
carts/etc. or walking the road and using small magnets to
look for more nails and are picking them up if they see
them.
The Town has also been calling the State DOT on this for the
last few weeks and this was discussed at the last Select
Board Meeting on 9/6/22 between Chief Bagan, the Select
Board, the Road Agent and residents. The sweeper had been
out that day so the Town had hoped that would take care of
the issue but just in case it didn't, the Select Board did
say the residents should call the DOT too, not just the Town
if they find more nails, because as with everything, the
more complaints received the more likely they are to react
quickly to it.
Please continue to report any nails being found and the location of the road these nails are being found on. As of right now, it still has only been reported that they have been found on North Groton Road. Please contact the Road Agent or the Administrative Assistant to let the Town know if any nails have been found on any Town Roads. Also, please report anything suspicious to the Police Chief.
We hope everyone working together will solve the problem and
hope to see this nail issue come to an end.

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!
