HAMPTON – An era in Hampton’s governance will come to an end on May 30, the effective date of Fred Welch’s resignation from his spot in Town Hall.
Currently the deputy town manager, Welch served as town manager for most of his 13 years with Hampton, the longest-serving town manager the community’s had. He will be heading back to Ashland, he said, taking over as town manager in the place he served as town administrator in 1983.
Three years ago during his last contract with the town, Welch agreed during the second year he would flip positions with then-Deputy Town Manager Jamie Sullivan, he said. That contract expires in June.
HAMPTON – Out-of-towners who park on the soon-to-be marked resident-only parking area at North Beach and Hampton Beach town roads could face a $100 fine.
Selectmen voted Monday to update the town’s parking regulations to include the new parking restrictions as well as set the fee for those caught in violation. The new parking restrictions will be in place from Memorial Day to Columbus Day.
The board previously voted to phase in resident-only parking on town beach roads at the request of residents. There is still plenty of parking for visitors in the state-metered parking lots or the many town-owned or privately owned paid parking lots at the beach.
