Please Show Your Support for a Bridge to Replace the Maitai Ford

Nicky from Maitai

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.

Calling all those in Wheelchairs

Simon from Stoke

Hi, I'm Simon .... a 44 yr old wheelchair user who wants to meet others in a similar position as myself (particularly a woman). I've been a sole parent now for almost 18 years and my son has just left the nest, so I thought it was time to start on the next stage of my life. I have cerebral palsy that effects just my legs (kinda the reason I can't walk) sooooooo if any of you are interested in getting to know me, flick me a message. I enjoy spending time with my son when he comes to visit and my pets (1 cat and 2 birds), I also enjoy building computers as well as a bit of gaming/watching TV too. So if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, shoot me a message.
