• Walpole bond request for new police station falls short by a single vote (magic967.com) — Alstead residents may feel the impact of Walpole’s narrow rejection of a $3 million bond for a new police station, since Walpole officers sometimes cover calls in Alstead under mutual aid. The proposal failed by just one vote after a heated debate over cost, crime levels, and long-term needs, and is expected to return at Walpole Town Meeting in March 2027.
