NEGLECTED ROADS
Sir, —The Tram Gully and Manukau Heads roads are proper nightmares to anyone going over them for the first time, and I am unable to understand , why the people concerned do not accept the offer of shell to go on "!»ith. They could then apply for the new road route later on. However, these two roads pale into insignificance when compared to the no exit piece by the Pollok Hall. There are only about two miles of clay on it, but I personally know of a car and a truck that were bogged within the last month. The irony of it is that the Franklin Council use thfe road to cart shell out during the summer and what is left of it the residents use. The council never thinks of putting shell on the worst pieced. I would suggest to the people concerned .in .this riding to ask for the riding to. be divided into two. One has only to travel through nome of the small ridings in the South Island to see what can be done in this respect, and their rates are very little higher, if any. I happen to have a share in a propertv there and so I am speaking from experience. * A Victim. r
