Needs major cleanup (possible deletion candidate?)

I feel that this article needs a major cleanup. It seems sloppily written by someone who doesn't know much on the subject, and overemphasizes the "Boston" part when really all of their warning and most everything else except their social media accounts use "Taunton", which is where they actually are, or often "Boston/Taunton". Also, I feel that this article might be a little bit unnecessary and could be a possible deletion candidate, but I am not ready to pull the trigger yet. That's all I have to say.

UPDATE: Candidate for deletion

I have chosen to nominate this article for deletion. This is due to not only my prior concerns, but now it seems that most of the writeup has been copied and pasted straight from an old page from NWS Taunton's old website. While it works fine there, not only does it not belong on Wikipedia, but also somebody chose to emphasize the fact that it serves Boston, and made it sloppy. If the page gets significantly cleaned up as I was previously concerned about, I would likely consider removing the candidate for deletion, but for now it is so.
