Thread: Could be bad news

I can understand your sentiment Brad's but it becomes part of the thin end of the wedge. This has happened time and again in western side. First it's the vehicular access then the poles routes are gone.
Unlike the Easten side access is getting harder and harder. DoC has cocked it up in a few occasions, kawhatau was colossal screw up.

The farmers comments below.

"This is not the only access to the Ruahine National Park. There is easy access in other areas, up and down the park on both the Manawatu and Hawke's Bay sides," he said.

It's not the only access, until it is!

The eastern side is blessed with lots of great access. So was the western side, when I was a teen, that's near 20yrs ago.
Problem is once opawae is gone how long before titrangi rd, petersons and Renfrew rd?
And I can say for sure the cocky on Renfrew rd would love to shut the gate. Takapari is another problem child.

There is fault on both sides.
But because you are a landowner you don't have an arbitrary right to say no to access.

Yeah sorry I disagree
I understand the eastern side is a different to the western side
But I don't agree with being the thin end of the wedge about access
Farmers over here are still freely giving up land for access,
Retiring land for parking of cars to make access easier.
Don't lump us all in the same boat.
