LETTER TO EDITOR
Ashburton bridge
How many people realise
that Ashburton River has
approximately seven crossings
from State Highway 1tothe
mountains and none between
highway one and the coast.
If abridge was erected at
Boundary Road/Cochranes
Road it would reduce the
problem at the main road.
If milk tankers to and from
Fonterra and Synlait,
agricultural machinery,
transport trucks to Five Star
and meat packers, to mention
just afew, were able to use
another route, half the
congestion would disappear.
Shingle trucks and trailers
from Boundary Road travel up
and down all day every day. All
the above are equivalent to
three or four cars.
If acrossing was near Lake
Hood, residents and users of
the lake would also be diverted
from the main road.
Remember that Lake Hood
has big plans and these will
need to be catered for in the
future as well.
employing the Japanese mending
technique called ‘sashiko’.
Cloudburstwas one of 43 works
featured in theZonta Ashburton
Female Art Award exhibition this
year.
Sue Prowse from Zonta Ashburton
said the exhibition had featured a
wonderfulvarietyand ahigh
standard of works from talented
femaleartists.
Anumber of the artistsentered
were from Christchurchand she
encouraged more local artists to
enter next year,which would be the
sixth year of theaward.
Currently maize is being
carted from Willowby,
Eiffelton and Flemington areas
up to the main road, through
town to Five Star feedlot.
Why not just over the river
nearby?
Until abridge is built to
support the rural area,
Ashburton deserves its
congestion.
