The Westwood-Walpole-Dedham League of Women Voters will host an opportunity to meet and hear from some of the Candidates running for office in the April 30 Town Election. It will take place on Sunday, April 14, 2024 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Westwood Main Library, 660 High Street (Rt. 109).
While there are no contested races, the LWV feels it is important to know who your Town Leaders are, how our government works, and what some of the issues affecting our town are. This is an opportunity to be civically engaged and place an informed vote at the polls.
Each candidate will provide a five minute introduction to themself and describe how they view the post for which they are running. The event will be both in-person and on Zoom. Westwood Media Center will broadcast and record it.

Thanks to League of Women Voters of Westwood/Walpole/Dedham for sharing this news with Westwood Minute.
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 36 and low of 20 degrees. Partly Cloudy during the morning, overcast for the afternoon, clear overnight.
This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
What is the citizen's petition about? I checked the town website, and the only information I could find on town meeting articles was from last year. The public hearing dates for 2026 are posted as February 24-25.
Apparently, you need to submit a public records request through the town's FOIA portal. What a shame, since it should have been posted to the town website upon certification of petition signatures.
Westwood Minute has obtained a copy of the petition and has added a short description of it to the article. A copy of the petition is attached below the article.
