The Police Respond
Below is a letter I received from Amherst Chief of Police John Moslow:
Sir, I believe your interpretation of the noise ordinance is correct. The police department would enforce it should you insist upon it. However, if the contractor was forced to wait til 6a.m. after a heavy snow, it could very possibly create more of a mess with the other association members trying to leave for work in the morning. It would be best if this concern was addressed by your association. That being said, I will forward your complaint to the Night Platoon Captain, David Hoy (689-1307), who will inform his officers to enforce the law if a complaint is reported. Generally, a warning to stop would be issued by the officer, if the plowing or noise continued – a summons would be issued. I imagine our enforcement would create turmoil within your association.
