I am Deputy George Bradbury. I work for the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office. I am a resident of Harpswell. I live and work among you.
Your monthly warning
The fine for following too closely is $152.
Leave time for slow drivers
Memorial Day has come and gone, which means cottages are opening up and Airbnbs are getting busy. The town comes alive this time of year, and with more traffic on the road, more emergencies can happen.
I want to thank Mike from Orr’s Island for this month’s topic. This is the time of year when we need to leave a little early because there might be someone in front of us driving under the speed limit because they’re looking at the scenic views.
Make sure you aren’t driving aggressively. This means don’t tailgate, don’t brake check, and leave some space between you and the car in front of you.
Recommendations and encouragements
If you own a rental property, I strongly recommend that you tell your guests to leave room for emergency vehicles.
I would encourage all to find a committee or group and give back some time!
June is the month for the Harpswell Recreation and Community Services Hiking Challenge! Headquarters is at the Town Office, so go check it out on June 7 and 8 and explore Harpswell!
