Thanks to Westwood Council on Aging for contributing this news to Westwood Minute.
Through October 31st, the Westwood Council on Aging is accepting feedback on is Programing with a Purpose survey, in hopes to better serve the residents of Westwood and build a stronger, more connected community for older adults.
Whether you have visited COA recently, haven’t stopped by in a while, or have been curious about what the Center offers, OCA wants to know what interests you and how COA can improve your experience. Whether it's a class, a lecture topic, a service or resource, you can let COA know your thoughts.
You can access the survey in three ways:

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.
