Default Village of Hadley Gatehouse Closed for Maintenance

The Village of Hadley’s gatehouse will be unmanned on May 31 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. due to maintenance. Villagers should use caution when approaching this gate as there will be no attendant on duty. A “stop” barricade, as well as cones, will be placed on the visitor lane only. If anyone has any

I’m so glad they are finally fixing that guard shack. Now if they could get to work on replacing the windmill and water tower @ Brownwood!

Are you really not aware that most do not have gatekeepers? It appears the number is closer to 80% (97 out of 120) that do not have a gatekeeper.

Just curious why most of the early villages have them but the later ones most do not and wondering how come.

With the population shifts and the established Villages from years past, that the District is always reviewing driving trends and traffic thru the gates. I think that some of the gate houses south of 466A are more strategically placed closer to heavy traffic or major roadways.

Most people are not aware that each gate house that is staffed has “word maps” for the streets located behind or around their building.

For example, the Marsh Bend house has the word maps for all the New Villages on Meggison Road as well as Chitty Chatty and the other ones on Morse/Warm Springs

Also, the gate keepers are there to call in accidents and are CPR trained.
