Letter: Insufficient Notice for Scheduled Power Outage Endangered Residents
The following letter was sent to the Amherst Town Council on November 9, 2026. I would like to add my voice to the others dismayed by the way power was cut to move a house on Oct. 29. As I understand it, the developer agreed to provide paper notices in advance to all residences in the affected area. Most of us did not receive this advance warning. It is not sufficient to say that it was in the newspaper – that is no guarantee of coverage. Many of our neighbors require electricity for health and safety reasons – Oxygen, CPAP, heat, illumination for folks with limited mobility, etc. I have none of those conditions, and I still walked into a wall. The lack of notice meant I hadn’t had a flashlight handy.

Letter: Clear ADU Rules Will Add Homes to Our Community in a Way That Works for Everyone
The following letter was sent to the Amherst Planning Board and the Town Council’s Community Resources Committee on Nov. 9, 2026. As a District 4 resident, I support accessory dwelling units. A small apartment can help an older parent stay close to family, give an adult child a place to live, or bring in rental income that helps a homeowner stay in Amherst. Thank you for working to clarify the bylaw. I’m asking you to draw a clear line on what counts toward the size limit and to ask Beacon Hill for the flexibility to address Amherst’s housing pressures.
