Phoenix Cafe and Bar employee Elizah Hudson handed in a petition against a refuge crossing in Renwick less than a day after residents were letter dropped.
A new crossing in Marlborough has been stopped in its tracks, days before it was about to go down, after officials realised they had forgotten to consult the public. The Marlborough District Council has agreed to postpone a refuge crossing on High St (State Highway 6) in Renwick after residents handed in 340 signatures calling for its relocation. Residents feared the crossing would pile more problems onto an already “chaotic” stretch of road ringed by entrances to the car parks of several businesses.
