What Would You Ban in Foxborough?

A number of communities around the Commonwealth have deep-sixed some interesting items and activities over the past year. Should Foxborough join the banning bandwagon?

Concord’s so-called bottle ban became a bylaw earlier this week, Brookline recently banned plastic bags and Styrofoam cups, and Arlington’s Town Meeting this fall upheld a seasonal leaf blower ban. Meanwhile, home-cooked foods have been forced out of many schools, an ostensible attempt to protect against allergies and childhood obesity.

. While the ban has reportedly angered many residents in town, it has not been much of an issue throughout the 2012 Patriots season, according to Foxborough Police Chief Edward O'Leary.

TELL US: Is there another activity or item you would want to see banned out of environmental, health or quality-of-life concerns in Foxborough in 2013? Let us know in the comments section below.
