To the Editor:

I fully support Casey Courts Deacon’s thoughts (“Services Lacking,” 10/19). Witness poorly maintained roads, sidewalks and curbs, lack of public spaces, and businesses being replaced by more homes. Many people move to Surf City because of the walkability to stores and restaurants)

I agree that our elected officials should be focusing on improving our town’s public spaces and community engagement, and I suspect leadership without self-interest would be best.
