HAMPTON — College student Luke Gould said everyone should be able to enjoy North Beach and Hampton Beach, regardless of whether they can afford to feed parking meters.
He's concerned a decision by town leaders to make parking along town roads at the beach resident-only will deny people that opportunity.
“I have spent a lot of my early years at the beaches," said Gould. "Just seeing how this might affect, as far as costs, other people from being able to attend the beach concerns me.”
Gould, a University of New England student and Exeter resident, was one of several who called into Monday’s selectmen meeting in response to the board’s decision three weeks ago to make all town beach roads resident-only parking.
