Since the City Council has been reluctant to do their jobs and serve the City residents, it seems some land owners (both residents and big time developers) have decided to take matters into their own hands and ACT to get what THEY desire (in terms of land use - zoning) in the City of Peabody.
These actions are SELDOM, IF EVER, in the best interest of the City... they, instead, are targeting individual concerns or needs over the needs of the entire City. And, of course, all too often our less than courageous Councils and Boards are happy to give them whatever they want.
IT IS TIME TO STOP THIS MADNESS AND REZONE THE ENTIRE CITY OF PEABODY TO A MODERN STANDARD - INCLUDING DOWNTOWN
The City Council is REMISS in their duties on this most important of issues. This should now become the NUMBER ONE PRIORITY of every single member of the City Council. To NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE is COWARDLY at best and FRAUDULENT at worst!

If this City Council is not up to the task that their positions require... they should ALL be voted out of office.

The City Council is voting tonight whether to grant the latest neighborhood re-zoning deal in the Brooksby neighborhood.
If anyone has cable (I don't) and wishes to update the group on the progress... please do.
Sorry, it may be a bit late. But the residents got what they were looking for, I was at the meeting.
Thanks for the update...
But I must say I disagree with your interpretation of the outcome posted at The Peabody Patriot.

I took a ride thru downtown Woburn the other day...now Woburn was a tired old industrial city much like Peabody but today there are lots of little downtown retail establishments, cozy restaurants, very few vacant spots, limited parking, greenery and and still an older, yet vibrant feel to the place...what is wrong with us here in Dark City?? why can't we get out of our own way ??? and why have we been stuck in rigor mortis for so long ???
