Re: “Extending Taruheru trail — all the way to Campion”, June 26 letter.
Again, the perception of the actual cost of a riverbank-based trail needs a serious dose of reality.
Gisborne has a history of budget blowouts and cost overruns of poorly considered and ill-conceived plans. And imagine now, after three significant weather events — therefore three significant (and costly) clean-ups and repairs to another pipe dream. Let alone the cost of construction, clogging of floodwaters backing up further into residential properties ...
The riverbank continuation of this trail needs to be shelved in the bin ASAP.
