Dear Eleanore Turkington:
I am writing to complain about the trash that has accumulated on the Highland Street Hill. Can you help us clean this area up?

Dear MN:
Your frustration, I hope, has ended relating to the condition of Highland Street Hill. I contacted Louis Esposito, Jr., Executive Assistant to Mayor Nancy Rossi:
Esposito responded to your complaint with, “I checked with my supervisor; the Highland Street complaint has been gone through recently. “
The following letter from West Haven resident, MN, arrived on my desk recently regarding the Highland Street Hill littering of trash:
Dear Eleanore Turkington:
I’m the person who complained about the accumulated trash on both sides of the Highland Street Hill.
Well, I just wanted to convey my appreciation to all that were involved in the cleanup; E. Mitch Gallignano and West Haven Public Works. I was so pleased to see multiple trucks involved in the cleanup as well as the truck that washed both sides of the street. I am so thankful to all of you and a special “shout out, well done” to Public Works.
