Michael Barron Keith Holyoake and National liked roads. Labour like/d rail.

Michael Barron did you read the article? I've literally just read one about this in the Christchurch press. They are concerned that the slip itself is the big issue. They fixed the road but geologically the slip is a problem. The proposed changes will look at a road to bypass that. BUT at 127 million I would suggest it probably won't happen anytime soon

Michael Barron
Craig Smith it's sat dormant with a 15kph speed limit for years,, they have just spent a few million blasting the slip amd fixing the road , did you read the article?

Craig Smith
Michael Barron yup. And that's what it said. Spent about 4 million but don't trust the slip to eventually go

Phil Wright
Craig Smith They spent 350mill cancelling the ferries,it's chump change!

Dave Maitland
Follow the old stock track.

Roger Sullivan
Dave Maitland apparently its not as scenic looking as the coast road ?

Donald Mathias
Just make plan and get it done. Don't waste money procrastinating, getting consultants, etc etc. We need to just spend the money on the ground and not in an office.
