Build the Path
This isn't about South Wairarapa, but please read on, as it is important, and will be an asset to us all.
New Zealand Transport Authority is planning on a new route from Ashhurst to Woodville now that the Gorge is deems to unsafe. We have been given till THURSDAY AT 4PM to have submissions in to include a walkway/cycleway/horse bridal path to be added during original construction. It makes so much sense to build it during the initial construction phase and it opens up fabulous country for recreational pursuits, a facility sorely needed in this region.
I am asking you to PLEASE click on the link below and make a submission. Even if you don't visit this area now, it will be there for generations to come. It is a fabulous opportunity to create a versitile recreational asset.
