Thirty-two days after the fires caused by gas leaks in Andover, North Andover and Lawrence, which shook the entire region, we are still in the process of recovery and restoration which causes annoyance and inconveniences of traffic with so many closed streets to the traffic of vehicles, all of which we have to accept due to the magnitude of the work that is being carried out.
From the beginning, the town of Andover has been producing a daily press release, sometimes more than one, detailing the progress of recovery and restoration of the works. In some of them, they announce 72 hours in advance, the streets where they plan to work, including the rooms reserved in hotels available for the victims, as well as availability of trailers.
In their best way to help business owners, the officials of the town of Andover produced a list of all kinds of establishments that have been affected asking their customers to help them in the best way possible. For those interested who want to read it, you can find it on page 14 of this edition as well as in Rumbo’s page on Facebook. What a pity that the City of Lawrence does not do the same for its merchants!
About the press releases, which already sum up 38, modestly, only appear the names of the administrator of the town of Andover, the Head of the Fire Department and the Chief of Police. Unlike the narcissist of our Mayor Rivera, when he has something that he finds important, he calls a press conference with the intention of another photo-op in whatever written press or television willing to cover it, or taking a selfie to put on Facebook.
As long as this situation persists, we will continue to pass on the information we have been receiving since the first day of the disaster, courtesy of the town of Andover, which also covers North Andover and Lawrence.
