Fawcett pointed out that the matter also involved the Papakura saleyards, at which lie considered there was nearly as much stock handled as at Westfield. "We are all talking in a whisper about this stock route," he said, "because we don't know what will happen over the allocation of the cost of the proposed new bridge at Otahuhu."
