Councilman
Gavin B. Forrester III today announced that he is seeking
re-election to his third consecutive term as Stratford’s 3rd

pressing issues that continue to be addressed in our district

bonded projects such as Stratford Center/ King Street Flood
Mitigation Project; Longbrook Park
Capital Improvement Project; I-95 Bridge Re-construction;
Barnum Avenue Re-construction; Shakespeare; Long Beach West;
New EMS home at the Old Firehouse Building; and of course
improving the Economic Development Climate in Stratford and my
Tax Enterprise Zone initiative that is currently before the

Stratford Tries to Revive
Longbrook Park
The Connecticut Post
reported in their July 1 Edition the revival plan for Longbrook Park.
Town Councilman Gavin Forrester, D-3, chairman
of the Longbrook Park Commission in co-operation with the
Friends of Longbrook Park completed a cleanup back in April.
"We knew right from the start it
was a massive undertaking because previous councils and
administrations had ignored the problems for so long," said
Forrester. "Even routine maintenance is not easy because of
constant, destructive vandalism and littering, and cuts to the
Public Works Department." "But
now, Forrester said there is hope."
