People are complaining about litter and poop in around Brettuns Pond, which is only supposed to be open for residents. Lorraine Woodard, who has lived near Brettuns Pond since 1964, said she used to love walking on the beach when she was younger but wouldn’t dare to now, after seeing people dump trash in the water and hearing about needles in the sand. Administrative assistant Aaron Miller said the town has received complaints about trash and poop at the beach for the past four years, including a report of a dead cat. “The board is currently weighing options, including fencing off the area, installing gates and hiring an attendant,” Miller said.
