Surry to buy beach parking
SURRY Public beach access is vital.
That was clear from a gymnasium full of residents who turned out for a special town meeting at the Surry school Monday to vote on whether the town should buy a parcel of land to secure public parking for the beloved Carrying Place Beach off Newbury Neck Road.
Some 200-plus residents voted unanimously in favor of purchasing the 11-acre parcel from the Mishara family for $215,000. The Mishara family has owned the property since 1979, according to Betsy Armstrong, chairwoman of the Board of Selectmen.
Armstrong said the public would be able to use the parking lot on the property again this week.
