After years of being able to grab a bucket of sand for our driveways we now have a town manager that decided it was a good idea to shut down the salt shed in the middle of the worst winter conditions in over 100 years. It is a pretty sad when you can't even get a bucket of sand from the town shed during emergency ice storm conditions for the safety of our elders and all hard working taxpaying residents. If the salt shed is being abused than a simple barrier allowing only walk in and walk out traffic would seem to be a better solution than banning everyone from the safety of a bucket of sand. If you agree that the residents of Fryeburg should be able to get a bucket of sand from the town shed, like they have been doing for years,

please go to Trumbull's Hardware Store or Jockey Cap Store and sign the petition

that respectfully requests the Selectmen to open the salt barn to foot traffic so people can get a bucket of sand.
