Overview: The recent Westfield Town Council meeting centered on several issues, highlighted by the town’s response to an increase in vehicle thefts and the transition of leadership within the Department of Public Works (DPW). The council addressed the 60% rise in vehicle thefts over the past year by discussing the implementation of additional license plate recognition (LPR) cameras and increasing police presence in high-risk areas. The meeting also marked the end of an era with the honoring of outgoing Public Works Director Greg O’Neil for his nine years of service and the introduction of Craig Gibson as the new director.
