NEW BRITAIN

Dear City of New Britain Officials,

I am writing this letter, brimming with disappointment, to address a continuing and blatant problem in our community. I hold the expectation that the city I call home should, at the very least, maintain a standard of cleanliness and upkeep worthy of its residents. Unfortunately, this expectation appears to be a tall order for the city council in charge of our daily operations.

I reported a vandalized street sign on Allen Street, a graffiti-infested eyesore, back on March 19, 2023. It is now June 10, 2023, nearly three months later, and the sign is still a glaring testament to your team's negligence. One must wonder, are the officials of New Britain so wrapped up in bureaucratic red tape that they can't manage even the simplest tasks such as replacing a defaced street sign?

As a taxpaying citizen, I am wholly dissatisfied with this lack of attention and the slow-moving nature of your city's response system. Our community deserves a municipal government that prioritizes cleanliness and safety, and it's clear from this instance that we are sorely lacking in that department.

This street sign, marred by ugly, incomprehensible scribbles, isn't just a sign - it represents the community's image and value. Every day that it stands defaced, it sends a message to the residents and visitors alike: We don't care enough about our city to maintain it.

I certainly did not move to New Britain to see my hard-earned tax dollars squandered on fruitless endeavors while basic municipal duties fall by the wayside. I'm tired of watching my neighborhood’s aesthetic and sense of safety deteriorate because of avoidable oversights.

I demand immediate action to rectify this situation. It's high time the city council rolls up its sleeves and starts putting our tax dollars to good use. This isn't a complex request, it's a simple plea for a modicum of responsibility and respect for our community.

Remember, it's the small things that make the biggest difference. It's not just about replacing a defaced street sign. It's about demonstrating respect for the city and its residents. So, do your job.

Basement flooding again with sewage from town problem. This is unacceptable. I have already notified the State of CT DEEP and plan on notifying the Governors office, the health department and the Federal Government. It is health hazard and residents should not have to endure this issue as a result of the towns unsafe and unsanitary sewer system.

There are two deep sections with potholes near the beginning of Forest Street and Adams and also farther down on Forest Street closer to Woodbine Street

Pothole at intersection of Forest and Adams about 1x2’ wide

Trash collectors skipped Selander St from Oakland to Governor

To the Esteemed Officials of the City of New Britain,

It has come to my most aggrieved attention, a matter most foul and vexing upon the eyes, that the supports of the Harry Truman Overpass along Columbus Boulevard have been defaced with graffiti. Such an act of visual brigandage assaults not only my senses but the very decency of our community.

This overpass, named for a president of considerable repute, should stand as a bastion of respectability and civic pride. Instead, it has become a canvas for the unscrupulous to display their flagrant disregard for law and order. It is an affront to the sensibilities of every right-thinking citizen and a blight upon the face of our fair city.

I urge you, with the utmost urgency and severity, to address this matter posthaste. The removal of this graffiti is not merely a task of cleaning; it is a moral imperative to restore the dignity and aesthetic of our public spaces. Should this issue persist, it will undoubtedly reflect most poorly upon the governance and upkeep of our city.

I trust you will act with the efficiency and seriousness this matter duly warrants. I await your prompt response and the swift rectification of this unsightly matter.

Yours with great expectation,

Ebenezer Scrooge, Esq.
