📰 News we're reading

• Mowing Delays Hit Enfield As Crews Work Through Backlog (patch.com) — Enfield residents are seeing delays in town mowing as Public Works crews catch up after rapid grass growth and new roadside safety training temporarily slowed work. Officials say high-visibility and heavily traveled areas are being prioritized, with normal schedules expected to resume soon and a local phone line available for concerns. Nearby Windsor Locks is facing similar mowing challenges due to staffing cuts and added maintenance duties.
