Are any locals frustrated by the lack of safe, usable pedestrian access ways between Percy Cameron and the Taita end Harcourt Werry to the River Trail? I'm sure I'm not the only one! It's especially worse being winter and the uneven grassy terrain is boggy, muddy and a real inconvenience for mums with prams, the wheelchair bound or even other users otherwise at a disadvantage from the lack of suitable pathways. I'm particularly concerned by the development of the sports hub, while it'll be a big drawcard, it could also mean less space due to car parking on these grassed areas, for pedestrians to wade through. It is extremely hazardous at present with weekend sports with cars parked at either side of Percy Cameron on the non existant path from the stopbank to Harcourt Werry.
Anyways I've sent an email to the council (the second in two years) again highlighting the problem and requesting a more proactive response than the usual " it's too expensive" It signals a lazy approach with a lack of proper investigation into more economical options, with a lack of consideration for those such as the elderly, disabled and pram pushers who would love to utilize this wonderful and free scenic opportunity of fresh air without the hassle of hosing down pram wheels, getting stuck in the mud, twisting an ankle or getting clipped by a car!
Who else agrees??

Does it make sense to buy teenagers bigger beds so they have more room to grow? Or, like writer and mum Jayne D'Arcy, do you think a double could equal trouble later on?

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.
We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?
