Mobile Home Park Won't Face Receivership

The Wayside Mobile Home Park won't face court-appointed receivership to connect the Route 9 park to Westborough's sewer system.

The residents have provided two letters the Westborough Board of Health requested, Director of Public Health Paul McNulty said Wednesday: one from Andy Danforth, who reviewed the six or seven absentee ballots from the election held last week for officers of the Turnpike Park Cooperative Inc., which governs the park, stating that the election results are official; and one from park residents Paul Dorr and Scott Knox, who both claim to represent the residents, stating that the results are valid.

McNulty said the board has cancelled the emergency meeting it tentatively scheduled for next Tuesday to vote on whether to seek court-appointed receivership to connect the park to Westborough's sewer system.

The park at 165 Turnpike Road has a failing septic system, but had five years to connect to the Westborough sewer system, McNulty has said.

The five-year window closed in May.
