I wasn't aware of the conditions you describe behind Silversmith Park. Next time you're out that way, if you want to take some pictures I'd be happy to use them (with your permission, of course) in a post about the conditions down there. I agree there should be no reason for trash to accumulate there, and something should be done. I might even take a walk down there myself, if I ever get time to get out of the house! :-) Thanks for stopping by and voicing your opinion, it's obvious you feel strongly about Wallingford and you've made some good points. If more residents took pride in the appearance of their home and town, we'd be much better off. Maybe it's time for a Community Clean-up Day for the Q-River banks!

I cannot afford to live on "The other side of the tracks" where more people actually care about the apperance of thier properties but that doesnt mean i have to live in filth.. does it? Would it hurt to send out the street sweepers like once or twice a mont to clean rte 5? or have people be responsible for keeping thier fronts of thier homes clean, including trash in the road like broken bottles and garbage thrown from cars?I to love my town, I just hate to see it so dirty and then have to pay more to look at it. By the way... I love this site, you guys are doing a great job!

I do agree, however, that to have to pay more for your electrical bill just because you reduce consumption is pretty strange. I thought that by reducing consumption you were reducing your expense, and that's what utility companies have always drilled into us, but now it seems that's not the case. I'm not a particular fan of Mayor Dickinson these days, but at least he's asked the utilities to present him with budgets that don't reflect any increases. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen, and it also remains to be seen if these rate hikes get passed. Since the Bailout has obviously passed me by (and a lot of other people too), I'll be hoping that the Mayor and Town Council can see reason and vote them down. We love Wallingford and certainly don't want to move, but please don't make it any harder to live here.

Nice, so here I am... getting the screwes tightened yet again by the wonderful town of Wallingford (or as we like to call it.. "Garbage Town!". When I first moved here back in 1993, one of the main reasons for doing so was the electricity.. lol now what? I reduce consumption so I can pay more... you go figure it out.. Im done. This town does nothing for us, no trash pick up (unless you pay) pay at the dump (town resident shoud not have to pay) one of the dirtiest towns since Bridgeport with all the garbage and littler along Rte 5 and the side roads leading to and from it.. Polluted Quinnipiac river, folks with so much junk on thier properties you'd think you were in some ghetto someplace. All this and tax increase too. When will we actually get something for our money in Wallingford? C'mon, its about time the city did one for the residents, dont you think? lol… Nice, so here I am… getting the screwes tightened yet again by the wonderful town of Wallingford (or as we like to call it.. “Garbage Town!”.
