No go on Wellesley leaf blower ban as Town Meeting wraps up

April 3, 2012 by bbrown Leave a Comment

Wellesley Town Meeting dissolved last night, mainly okaying the items on the warrant, but a proposal to ban gas-powered commercial leaf blowers due to noise/environmental concerns was rejected.

Among the latest items passed: an amended flood plain map; authority given to town to place liens on public land encroachers’ property; and funding to spruce up Bacon Street. Full Town Meeting scorecard.
