Peterson Held Busy Office Hours on Friday

The following was taken from the personal blog of Osler "Pete" Peterson who talks about what it's like to be a selectman in the Town of Medfield.

On Friday, Aug. 2, Selectman Osler "Pete" Peterson held his monthly office hours at The Center. There he met with several people with several concerns: 

• neighbor of Medfield Youth Soccer fields concerned about growing level of use and activity at fields, to point at worst times of Elm Street and driveways being blocked.
• individual transported by Medfield Fire Department EMT’s asks to be able to have the ambulance take them to the hospital where they get their medical care.  Follow up call to Chief indicates that people should always ask to go where they want, but that at times state and/or medical protocols dictate to them where they are required to transport patients.
• resident concerned over issues with lack of available care and/or safety controls at assisted living facilities.
