I took my daycare children to play up at Alcorn park today and it was disgusting! There is trash everywhere, someone vomited on the playground structure, the new black mat thing is being torn to shreds.... It is such a shame! We have been going to the playground fairly regularly (once a week) and have been watching it slowly decline. We were there on Saturday, and it wasn't this bad. It is pretty bad when kids don't want to play and ask to go back home.

i can't believe the town planners ok'd a childrens playground almost in the middle of a parking lot without a fence around it! If a child runs out in the parking lot they are DEAD. Have you ever seen or heard of senior citizens putting their car in what they think is reverse on to have put it in drive? Where will they end up? In the middle of the children, because of course there are handicap spaces right at the entrance of the playground. I will not bring my grandchildren and I am not alone in my thinking. It is a shame because it is a beautiful playground but done with no thought for safety.

For over 2 years this jeep has been rotting into the front lawn. Starting to pile garbage around jeep now too. No plates, not drivable, decreasing property value.

Had to call the police 2X on Sunday to report 8 ATVs on the CL&P right of way owned by Ashmead Commons. It was around 12:30 or 1 PM.

The roads in all of Crescent Lake need to be reconstructed. They are very dangerous!

There should be a light on this pole on southwood. It is right before the intersection and at night it is really dark and hard to see

Constant speeding cars down our street! Please help, I almost got nailed by a car walking to my mailbox. Spend one day here and it will be tickets galore!!

Neglected playground.

This house continually has cars for sale in their yard. When one is sold, a few days later another one appears. Is this against any rules in either the historic district or the zoning laws for this residential area?

There are mattresses, garbage, and now an old refrigerator piled in the front yard around a Jeep with no plates that has been dead and sinking about 6 inches into the ground for three years!

The house next door to me caught on fire a week before xmas. Since then the landlord has gutted the inside. Now the dumpster has been there for 3 months empty 3 times. Now every one is dumping tvs and digging them out for scrap. Every time I mow the lawn, there is glass from broken tvs. There is nails and burnt wood every where. My 8 year old plays out side.and has already got cut on her foot. Please contact the landlord of 40 church st to have it removed. Sick of looking at it.

I reported the issue of parents who pick up students at the school parking in the designated fire lane. Reported this back in December. The issue was acknowledged by Enfield Police and they indicated it would be given special attention. Well, since then I have noticed no attention, surely not "special attention" to the problem. It's a safety hazard. Kids and parents, myself included, have to dodge between illegally parked cars daily. It seems like a straight forward issue to solve. Make it clear to parents, school staff etc. that a no parking sign in a fire zone means "NO PARKING". It happens every day, there are open spots for parent to park yet no one seems to care. Police, school staff, etc. If no parking in a fire zone can't be
enforced then why even have the signs up?
