While Waimakariri District Council News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

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.”
Woodend was split in half by State Highway 1, and traffic volumes had increased 20 per cent over the past two years, he said.
About 20,000 cars now drove through the town each day, leaving locals with serious safety concerns.
“While interim safety improvements will help, it’s not going to solve the problem.”
Gordon said the council would make a submission on the plan.
