Subject: Barrier to Stepping Stones over Duck River Dear I was dismayed to return to live in Mona Street after working overseas for a few years, to find that the Council has erected a barrier blocking access to the stepping stones across Duck River near Mackay Street Granville. Many people use these stepping stones every day, and negotiate the dangerous slope instead of the steps blocked by the council barrier. I have written about this at http://nicku.org/opinions/overprotection.var I would really appreciate an explanation of why the council has erected this danger to its citizens, and would like to know of any plans the Council has to remove the barrier.
