Rocks Road closed by car accident on Sunday 25 July
As one of the hundreds of cars diverted at slower than crawling pace up Bisley Ave and along Princes Drive to Washington Road, I had more than ample time to reflect on the fatuously wilful and intransigent opposition to the completion of the Southern Link posed by Crs Lawrey and Fulton, and aided and abetted by Crs McGurk and Rainey.
Such was the volume of traffic, that Sunday - not a business day - diversion added 28 minutes to my journey, underlining just how crucially essential it is for Nelson to have its long overdue security of a third arterial road.
Today, Monday, Rocks Road is closed again - this time by the weather.
I hope every driver who on Sunday was enormously inconvenienced - along with every other thinking Nelson resident - will see to it that none of these councillors are returned next election.
