WAREHAM — An environmental survey of Swift’s Neck Beach prepared for the Community Preservation Committee this summer continues to be withheld from the public by town officials, reports the Standard-Times.
The report, prepared by the engineering firm of BSC Group Inc. of West Yarmouth and Boston, was obtained to help the committee decide the conditions for a conservation restriction on the property, which was once developed. It has been in the hands of the committee for more than a month, and The Standard-Times has been making requests for it, first verbal and finally written.
Interim Town Administrator John Sanguinet answered the written request with a two-sentence note: "I received your request for a copy of the report on the Swift’s Beach property the town purchased. Unfortunately, because of potential litigation, the report is not available at this time."

The secretary of state’s office issues guidelines intended to govern which public records may be withheld from public view.
