Walking and biking trails receive top up in Ashburton
From local democracy reporter Jonathan Leask:
A new fund is laying the foundations for better walking and cycling trails in the district.
The Ashburton District Council approved $9600 to projects from the new Trail Maintenance Fund.
The fund has a balance of $102,443 to be used over the next 10 years to repair and maintain walking and biking trails
The Methven Lions Club received $3000 towards lime chip to reseal the Methven Walkaway.
The Lions has a three stage development of the walkway over a three year period and the council recently issued the club with a licence to occupy for all council-owned land within the walkway.
Mountain Bike Ashburton also received $3000 towards its annual maintenance
The Mt Somers Walkway Society receives $2500 for resurfacing and levelling of a 120-metre boardwalk on the Bus Stop track
The other successful applicant was the Ashburton Lions Club, receiving $1100 to fill holes and grade the river track between Milton Rd and Cochranes Rd.
Two groups were unsuccessful in their applications.
Ashburton Motorcycle Park because it was not a walking or biking trail and Bike Methven as it was looking to purchase capital items in the form of a motorbike and spray unit.
To be eligible a project must be a volunteer-led, existing public-accessible trail.
Applications for the fund open in March each year.
