A slip on the Kenepuru Rd might be able to stop vehicles, but it can’t stop residents and their dogs.
As road workers continue to clear slip after slip on Marlborough’s Queen Charlotte Drive, another “incredible” Sounds community has been doing it for themselves while they wait for reinforcements to arrive. Relative newcomer to the Kenepuru Sound, Kathryn Curzon said the community response to the floods was “something to see”. The Kenepuru Rd had been closed since the region was first inundated with rain almost two weeks ago. Another dump of rain on Monday hadn’t caused any further damage, but was actually a good excuse for a lot of residents to have their first day off from working on the road since the flooding happened.
