Dover mayor tells veterans 'our gratitude is more than just words'
DOVER — Dover Mayor Dennis Shanahan spoke directly to those who served the military in attendance at the city's Veterans Day ceremony Wednesday, Nov. 11, and all veterans. "On behalf of our city, we thank you," he said. "Thank you for your service, thank you for your sacrifice and thank you for the burden that you accepted on the behalf of others, on behalf of us. Our obligation today is to recognize the people who have served our country and to make sure our gratitude is more than just words." The ceremony opened with colors presented by the Dover High School's Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, and a performance of the national anthem by the DHS band. An opening prayer was led by the Rev. Alan Tremblay of Parish of the Assumption in Dover. Shanahan said Dover in 2023 celebrated the 400th anniversary of European settlement, 2026 is the 250th year of the nation's independence, and in September this year the city recognized the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. "A common thread runs throughout these. That common thread is the commitment and sacrifice of our country's veterans," said Shanahan. "Without those that took up arms to establish

Exeter says no to downtown paid parking: ‘Not ready for prime time’
EXETER — After hearing strong opposition from residents across three public hearings, the Select Board said the proposed downtown paid‑parking pilot program was “not ready for prime time.” The board said Nov. 9 it would shift its attention to enforcing the current ordinance and improving signage, and send the proposal back to town staff to address community concerns — particularly around downtown resident parking and the potential effects on local businesses and their employees. The one‑year paid‑parking pilot, recommended in a 2024 downtown traffic, parking and pedestrian study by consultant Stantec, would have applied to both on‑street spaces and municipal lots across town. The draft ordinance called for tiered rates for on‑street parking to encourage turnover in front of businesses, and a flat rate for off‑street parking. The first 15 minutes would be free in all parking zones, and drivers would pay by text, call or app. Enforcement would be handled by four part‑time employees.
