The Town of Newtown has received a number of complaints from residents regarding a ‘door-knocking’ campaign underway by the Citizens Campaign for the Environment.
Our efforts to stop or curtail the campaign have been disregarded by the organization. Unfortunately, the Town has no legal right to deny the group access to our community. However, we continue to alert them to our concerns and ask that they stop canvassing in our neighborhoods, especially during the evening hours.
The group is required to notify police in advance when/where they will be canvassing. That has been done – so the police have the right information at hand. We will continue to monitor these activities.
