• Flanders residents are concerned about a new 7-Eleven and gas station proposed at the site of an abandoned gas station at the Riverside traffic circle. Several people aired their concerns that the area already has enough gas stations and convenience stores at the Southampton Town Board's meeting Tuesday afternoon, ahead of a discussion about the SEQRA determination for the project at the town Planning Board's 2 p.m. work session today. Here's the agenda for the Planning Board meeting, which can be viewed live on Sea-TV's YouTube channel.
