Pages Road
Sir, —I would like to refer to the state of Pages Road between Rowan Avenue and Bexley during the holidays. Coming , from Brighton, cyclists travel on bitumen for a section and then continue on to shingle and find they cannot mount the centre because of the 2in rise which would turn their front wheel and cause an accident Talk about road care and accidents! There is plenty of shingle at Halswell, plenty of bitumen in the tankers, and men looking for work.— Yours, etc., S.H.S. January 8, 1968. [The City Engineer (Mr P. G. Scoular), replies: “The final sealing of the shoulders in Pages Road was held up because of extremely wet conditions. A drain has now been installed and the shoulders will be completed as soon as thev have dried out sufficiently-”]
