Spokes December 2009 Newsletter 

Attached are two petition forms, one in support of installing a cycle/walkway clip-on on the Old Waimakariri Bridge.

The other for the Ashley Bridge via Rangiora.

Please feel free to circulate them.

Spokes has said as far back as April 2004 that the bridge is inadequate.What is most disappointing is plans were in place to proceed and seems like it has been stopped by Wellington through funding cuts.
