By P.J. GLISSON [email protected] WAKEFIELD — To fence or not to fence, as well as where and how to fence, was a major topic at Tuesday evening’s meeting of the Wakefield Planning Commission. City Manager Robert Brown, Jr. said the city’s current ordinance allows residents to install a fence directly on their property line. However, he noted, that can result in problems — particularly when new neighbors settle in.
