Town Plows Private Road

I personally know someone who was told that by an officer in town, that is that they do not enter the area unless there's a call for them. Can Suissevale residents turn away a cruiser if they want??

Not sure I would ever want to be the one to turn a way a cruiser at all. What happens when you really need one. I see the crusier in Suissevale every once in a while. Not that often. I had to call the police once for a dog I found wandering around. Great dog too. The officer was young and very friendly. No reason I would ever chance burning a bridge out from under me.

And who is complaining about the roads? Not me. I don't understand the whole concern. Private? Public? It behoves the town to have private roads anyway. No cost for paving them to the town, yet the residents still pay the same amount of taxes. The town wins. People build on land that are not on main roads. More money for the town. So they plow them. Big Whoop.
Some of your kids get to go to a school that I help pay for and I don't have any kids. There is a library that I don't use, and the fire/police have never had to stop me or rescue me. Should I complain now that I am not getting my moneys worth....? I'm confused about what the problem is with plowing any road? There was a big earthquake in Haiti. Maybe we should be worrying about more important things......

the issue at had is not why the plow private roads. The issue is a fairness matter. I am all for plowing ALL private roads or NONE.
Lets just be consistent.

I think it is a town by town. I know that a couple of years ago Center Harbor was looking at stopping all plowing of private roads. I believe Moultonboro is consistent that they do plow private road which due to the large amount of water front property are numerous
