We, the residents of Effingham, NH demand that the Board of Selectman open town hall IMMEDIATELY for business in person, for the residents of the town.
With other town halls in the neighboring towns open, along with the knowledge that most employees in town hall are protected both by masks and barriers, there is no reason to continue to keep the doors closed.
Many residents have found it more than difficult to conduct required business, such as car registrations, with the current "no entry" policy in place.
We feel that if the residents are safe going grocery shopping and doing other errands, using a mask if needed, then it is past time for the Board of Selectmen to do business with the people they are supposed to be representing.
The governor's mandates have set out rules for safe, in person transactions. The town hall and Board of Selectman are free to use these guidelines (including the exceptions list for mask requirements), to open the doors.

There is absolutely no reason not opening the Effingham Town Hall for town business when all surrounding towns are open for public business. Also, population is greater in surrounding towns. Stop using the community as an excuse for your benefit.
There are no excuses to keep our town office doors locked. Time to stop hiding behind walls and face the citizens of Effingham
Way over due

There is no reason why the office cannot be open to the people of the town. More and more people are being vaccine now as well. Open the town office.
The hour to call the town office suck. Would be so much easier to just walk in.
