there are a lot of wonderful people i Becket M.a and the beauty is breathtaking However becket comes with a few individuals that BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BULLY THE BECKET RESIDENCE FOR HER OWN PLEASURE (RITA FURLONG ) I HAVE LIVED IN BECKET MY WHOLE LIFE AND HAVE NEVER ONCE SEEN SUCH A WOMEN AT HER AGE BULLY AN ENTIRE FAMILY OFF OF THE BECKET BEACH OVER A SUNDAY ( WHEN HE COMMITEE LACKS PROPERLY PROVIDING ACCESS TO BEACH PASSES. I DROVE TO THE BEACH AND WAS TOLD BY A BECKET OFFICERS, I WAS OK, THEN, THIS SNARLING DROOLING INDIVIDUAL OVERWHELMS ME AS I AM PUTTING MY DAUGHTER DOWN TO NAP. RITA FURLONG DECIDES TO YELL AT ME AS I AM HOLDING MY 8MONTH OLD CHILD AND WATCHING MY 5 YEAR OLD HAVE A BLAST IN THE WATER. SHE IS YELLING AND CARRYING ON CALLINGME A "LAW BREAKER" WHEN SHE HAS HER GRANDDAUGHTER WATCHING EVERY SINGLE MOVE ANYONE AT THE BECKET BEACH MAKES, TEXTING FURLONG ALL THE BEACH ACTION AND WHO, WHAT, WHERE, AND HOW EVERYTHING IS GOING AT THE BEACH. HER BEHAIVOR IS STRAIGHT BULLY.......TAKING HER POSITION AND USING IT IN AN ABUSIVE MANOR IS BULLYING . RITA FURLONG SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH DISTURBING THE PEACE AND IF SHE EVER CONFRONTS ME IN THAT AGRESSIVE CHILD-LIKE WAY AGAIN I WILL BE CALL THE POLICE MYSELF. PEOPLE IN BECKET THAT ABUSE POWER IN SUCH A WAY SHOULD BE HELP ACCOUNTABLE AND STRIPPED OF ANY AND ALL COMMITEE POSITIONS.

Everyone was so friendly and helpful getting us set up (just moved to town). We even got a little history on the town and the specific area we moved to which was much appreciated. We have moved around a lot and never seen such friendly people working at a town hall!! Very impressed with everything and the overall vibe of Becket.
