Highway Department
Emergency calls before or after hours should be directed to the Windham Police Department, (603) 434-5577, who will either contact us or take other appropriate measures to correct the situation.
We ask for your patience while awaiting our response to your inquiries, as there are only three staff members within the Highway Department, and we are often away from our offices and working about the Town.
