We urge our neighbors in Winchester to attend the Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting on Thursday, Dec. 15, at 7 p.m. at the Winchester Town Hall, to speak out against the proposed shooting range featuring training with high-powered rifles and action shooting.
This range would be surrounded by residential properties, including families with children and animals. Having a shooting range in this location would threaten our safety.
It would also create intolerable noise pollution and lower the property values of our community.
For more information, please visit www.ashuelotnh.com. We have lived in Ashuelot Village (part of Winchester) for 26 years. It is here that we raised our 24-year-old daughter. We love our home, our 6 acres of land, and our wonderful town.
My wife is a cancer and stroke survivor and is home during the day most of the time. I’m a teacher and I do my grading, writing and reading at home. We strongly oppose the opening of a shooting range so close to our home. The constant noise and increased traffic would infringe on our peaceful lives.
We urge our neighbors, the members of the Zoning Board of Adjustment, and all other relevant officials to oppose this special exemption to the zoning laws. Please, we beg you, do not allow this shooting range to ruin the tranquility of our lives and those of our neighbors.
Sincerely,
SANDER LEE and WENDY SMITH
Ashuelot
