Don Neale of the Sandringham Community Nursery volunteered to draw up a detailed plan which was presented to Council Officers in December. The plan has been sent to the Ministry for Planning and Environment. A further meeting will be held with Council Officers and MPE personnel, perhaps in March.
De Facto Bike Path
Possibility of a publicity photo to publicise the illegal bike path. A sign warning people to wear helmets has been erected at both ends of the path.

This is especially important given the recent rock fall from the cliffs. Re-vegetation and drainage problems must also be addressed.
