MADISON — A representative from Alvin J. Coleman & Sons went before the Madison Planning Board on Dec. 21 to explain that the company is working to allay abutters’ fears that an access road going to their cottages may cave in due to Coleman’s adjacent mine. At the board’s request, he went on a site visit with board members and property owners.
For the past few months, Ledge Pond Road property owners have complained that the road to their summer camps has been eroded by an aggregates mine. Second-home owners Don Burnham, Stephen Lyons and Rick Ryan say the mine is not only threatening their access but also public access to conservation land next to Ledge Pond that New Hampshire Fish and Game stocks with trout.
