• Melendy Pond roads neglected by town (cabinet.com) — A longtime Melendy Pond resident in nearby Brookline says poor road maintenance and uncertainty over his lease have hurt his health so much he's now seeing a doctor at Dartmouth-Hitchcock in Milford. He and another resident describe years of minimal plowing, delayed repairs, major home investments, and mounting rent disputes as the town tightens control over the pond properties.
