Success of Businesses Bring Parking Troubles to Downtown Wenham

The Hamilton-Wenham Chronicle reported that Wenham residents and officials are becoming concerned with the lack of parking in the downtown area along Route 1 A, where several local businesses’ success has attracted more visitors. Recent town meetings have focused on the parking issue and have yet to find a solution.  One proposal that consisted of turning the nearby historic trolley Car Barn lot into a parking lot was scrutinized heavily by local residents.
