What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Residents in Clarkville complained that large gravel haulage trucks, used for the Woodend Bypass and other projects, were damaging rural roads in North Canterbury. The Waimakariri District Council backed a recommendation to work with Environment Canterbury on a permanent fix, which may involve rerouting the haulage through Waimakariri Regional Park. Mayor Dan Gordon plans to write to the operators regarding the issue.
