SAVE MONEY WITH MORE CYCLEWAYS?
A new candidate for the mayoralty of Upper Hutt has emerged but
I don't think Wayne Guppy is going to have many sleepless nights over this person who wants to save ratepayers money and rates increases such as the whopping 20% proposed for next financial year, and spend rates money more wisely.
See, this "Greenie-type" person happens to pitch for more cycle lanes and not a stoppage on what we have already been lumbered with while jumping on the bandwagon of turning pot holes into pot stands.
Cycle lanes are expensive and I say any more are unwanted for at least the next 30 years. And this coming from not only a cyclist but one who rides a full blown racing cycle.
