Te Anau Park bridge
I live on Te Anau Place, Glenview and often walk through Te Anau Park to Pelourus Street, a popular walking route but for some three months the bridge in the gully linking the park to Pelourus has been closed with a danger sign placed by the council. Last week I sent an email to West Ward Councillor Geoff Taylor asking whether the City Council intended fixing the bridge but he didn't reply or acknowledging my email. Can anybody recommend a West Ward councillor who actually cares about local issues and answers emails?
