The trails have been developed since 2009, but committee secretary Brian Downey told Bay Harbour News yesterday there were too many, and they could be affecting the stability of the reserve’s steep hillside slopes. He said the issue of mountain bike trails had caused a “very definite split” among committee members and up to two thirds of the 16 members were against them. The city council is currently looking at a plan to improve recreational opportunities in the reserve, increase public access, enhance birdlife and control weeds. A city council leaflet outlining the reserve development proposal was sent to nearby residents last week. •Turn to page 7 •Soapbox, p10 “As is - Where is” Property URGENTLY Required If you have a damaged property that you wish to sell ‘As is - Where is’ ...or maybe your property has been re-built?
