Update on Andrews Farm mountain bike hub

Hi All, Ian Wallace from NCC sent me the following update today:

"I had originally predicted we would have part of the project open for Christmas – this obviously is not going to happen.

The delay is due to a change of gravel supply, Nelmac contractors will now start spreading and compaction of the car park from 15th Jan.

The original source was to be from Groom Creek works in late November – once excavation began it was found to be swamp deposits rather than an excess of alluvial gravels.

So an alternative source was found – the clearance of the river gravel traps by Council.

This material is free so is worth waiting for.
Also with it being so dry I made the call to delay planting of the trees until the cooler months.

The project is still on track to be completed this financial year [30 June]".

All the best for Christmas and the New Year.

Tom

FOUND BLACK RABBIT

Louise from Nelson South

In the Franklyn village back car park phone Louise 0276025945 probably some poor wee girls Christmas present. I have left out some lettuce and carrots and cucumber in 2 different spots so she doesn’t starve overnight and alerted the SPCA. She or he may need to be trapped. Until we sort this out you can count on me to keep her well fed.
Text or phone Louise 0276025945 or louisemarychaney1@gmail.com or email Ian found her and told me.
