Please Show Your Support for a Bridge to Replace the Maitai Ford
Following last week’s article in the Leader about the ford being removed on the Maitai River, if you support the ford being replaced with a bridge then please make a submission to the Parks and Reserves Asset Management Plan which closes on 14 April.
To do this go here: nelson.govt.nz...
A replacement bridge has been proposed to be built at the old nursery site about 400m up the road from where the ford was on the corner on the right. Currently this paddock is used for grazing but it has been proposed that it be made into a public reserve which would remain fairly much in its natural state. An early estimate for the cost of the replacement bridge is $180,000. If this work is approved it would not be designed until 2018/19 or constructed until 2019/20. If you’d like it be built earlier than this then please ask in your submission that it be given a higher priority and that construction be brought forward. Although this proposal has been made it is by no means guaranteed so if you’d like it to happen then please take action.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
