Board balks at tree removal request

DOVER- Selectboard members rejected a request from a neighboring property owner to remove or trim trees on town property at their regular meeting on Tuesday, September 5. 
Road Commissioner Travis Briggs said the owner of a Taft Brook Road property abutting Dover Town Hall initially contacted him about a large tree on the town’s property that could endanger hers.  Briggs said he agreed, and noted there were a couple of other trees on the town’s property that should also be removed.
