Canterbury mayors disappointed major transport projects not in 10-year-plan

Locals stopped traffic on State Highway 1 last year to protest inaction on a bypass for Woodend.
“I’m disappointed it only made an inclusion in this plan as an ‘on the horizon’ project.”

Gordon said the council would make a submission on the plan.
