What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Tony Sands submitted a petition to Ashburton calling for interim improvements to a 500m stretch of Allens Road, which could eventually become a sealed footpath with a potential price tag of $1.5 million. The petition, which had 263 signatories, was presented to the council, where officials noted that some signatories appeared duplicated and it was unclear if all signatories resided in the Ashburton District. Councillor Phill Hooper stated he believed he was signing in as an attendee at a road meeting, not as a petition signatory.
