Letter to the Editor

 

I read in the August 3 Focus that Kaipara District Council might close Mangawhai Road, Insley and Cove Roads for 4.5 hours on Thursday October 15 for the Targa Rally NZ.

The public can object by contacting KDC before 17 August. I have, but I wonder how many others have seen this public notice?

Access to and from Mangawhai Beach School and the kindergarten will be closed. The route into and out of Mangawhai along Insley Street will be closed, also access to and from private homes.

Access to and from Waipu, along Cove Road, will be closed. People that use any part of Cove Road to access their properties, will be either locked in or locked out for 4 or 5 hours that day. These closures are not essential, they are for a rally, so have your say, there still is time to object.
