| Tri-County Top 10 students recognized by United Regional Chamber |
Recently you may have noticed the Franklin Police Department has stepped up our enforcement of parking violators in the area of the Franklin High School athletic field, the Horace Mann Middle School and St. Mary Church.
This advisory is intended to reach as many people as possible so that you will not be one of those who get back to your vehicle to find an orange parking ticket affixed to the windshield.
The Franklin Police Department asks when you visit Franklin and see there is a "no parking" sign clearly posted that you honor that and continue on to an area specifically designed and/or allowed for parking.
The issueance of parking violations is one of the "less desirable" duties of police officers, it does however become necessary when there is constant and blatant disregard for parking control. Our wish is always for the voluntary compliance of law, but when that is not the case our only remaining option is for enforcement.
If you have constructive comments and/or suggestions please feel free to call me @ 508-528-1212 ext 2709. Thank you.

"As many know the Benjamin Franklin Educational Foundation already owns a parcel of land in Franklin on Washington Street that was purchased some time ago with the idea of building a school. Although in the past there were barriers to developing the parcel recent events have made the site viable and in fact favorable to other available options. As a result, I’m pleased to let you know that we are pursuing placement of the school on Washington Street in Franklin.
The next step in the process is for us to seek a designer to develop plans and specifications for a new 90,000 square foot building with play fields. Much of this work will take place over the summer. Our timeline remains aggressive but we currently expect that we will be able to welcome students into BFCCPS’s new facility in September of 2017."

“Franklin is not unique in terms of this problem,” Roy said, referring to the state’s opioid epidemic.
He was speaking during the taping of a local cable TV show that also featured Franklin Police Chief Stephan Semerjian, Town Administrator Jeffrey Nutting and school district Superintendent Maureen Sabolinski.
After filming in the morning at Franklin TV’s Hutchinson Street studio, Roy met with Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey later that afternoon about some of the strategies that the other coalitions have used.
“The district attorney has assigned someone from the Walpole coalition to mentor us and someone from his office who will attend all of the meetings,” Roy said. “Whoever emerges as the leader of the Franklin coalition will go every other month to the DA’s office to meet with the other 18 community coalition leaders. We will have constant dialogue on this.”
