Letter: No more sunsets spent on Westport’s beaches
To the editor
One of the many joys during our 20 years of owning a place in Westport is watching the sunset while sitting on the beach. My husband loves to fish during those dusk hours.
It is a quiet time, the crowds are gone and the air cooler. But this year for some reason, the Westport Beach Committee has decided to change the closing time from 9 p.m. to 8 p.m.
My husband came back from fishing at dusk recently and found a note attached to his car informing him of the new closing time.
What is the reason for this? Noise? Litter? The police don’t like to come by after 9 p.m. to close the gate?
A member of the beach committee who lives on that road doesn’t like it? This is the town beach, not a private club.
I urge residents to call and complain. Why does a non-elected committee feel free to make these changes without a public hearing?
