Mobile park owner sends no-trespass order to Brockton

By Mike Melanson, Enterprise correspondent

WEST BRIDGEWATER — A free ride in a West Bridgewater police cruiser is a possible consequence for any Brockton official or employee who enters a mobile home community without the written permission of the property's owner.

An attorney for Westbridge Landing proprietor Ed Medairos on Tuesday mailed no-trespass orders to Brockton Mayor James Harrington and City Solicitor James D'Ambrose.

“I can have them arrested. That's what I could do,” Medairos said.

The no-trespass order comes after complaints by Brockton's Conservation Commission in March prompted West Bridgewater's Conservation Commission and the state Department of Environmental Protection to issue enforcement orders stopping Medairos from working on a “safety berm” that town officials said has protected Westbridge Landing residents from sewage flooding.

According to attorney Robert Reed, workers for the city of Brockton have been trespassing on Medairos' West Bridgewater side of the Matfield River in apparent attempts to mitigate flooding from the city's treatment plant just north of Westbridge Landing.
