BECKET â In construction season, as many as 100 heavy-duty trucks can pass each day along Becket roads where Robert Benton likes to walk.
Thatâs what happens when you live near two busy companies, Williams Stone and Tonlino & Sons Crushed Stone, on Algerie Road and neighboring streets.
Benton rose during the annual town meeting Saturday to explain why he shaped a citizens petition on the nightâs warrant after speaking with local truckers and twice presenting a case to the Select Board that the noise from âengine brakingâ is detrimental to well-being and public health.
