Town of Medway October Announcements

• Reusable bags are back in the Town of Medway: Just a reminder that the MA Dept of Public Health rescinded their restrictions on reusable bags and are allowing cities and towns to reinstate their plastic bag restriction bylaws. Medway passed their plastic bag reduction bylaw during Fall Town Meeting, but due to COVID restrictions, the Town extended the effective date to January 27, 2021. For more information, please visit the Medway Energy and Sustainability Committee webpage here: https://www.townofmedway.org/energy-and-sustainability-committee

• National Police Women's Day just passed. We would be remiss in not recognizing our very own Officers Lauren Swarthout and Meghan Casey and the great jobs they do every each and every day in Medway as well as the dedicated service of all our sisters in law enforcement. Please check the link to read more about the origins of women in policing. http://www.laalmanac.com/crime/cr73b.php?fbclid=IwAR2dl3mlwlBTHEymwz9ZPIVuKs1sWQHfQ0_zip0ut9t0eHOauU...
