Needham Police have announced that they are searching for 62 year-old Linda Croteau to check on her well-being. She was last seen on April 29, 2024, at her former Needham residence. She was last heard from on May 4th.
Linda is described as 5'2" in height, 130 pounds, and has brown/grey hair and hazel eyes.
Her cell phone is now off, but was pinged in Oxford, Massachusetts on Saturday, May 4th. Oxford Police have been alerted to this missing persons case.
Anyone with any related information about Linda is asked to call Needham's Public Safety Center at 781-444-1212.
Mist, with a high of 37 and low of 24 degrees. Overcast in the morning, mist in 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.
