Upgrade Rocks Road

One of Nelson’s two major transport projects – an upgrade to make Rocks Road modern and safe, has been dropped from the Government’s list of transport priorities by the National Government.

Labour in Government gave the green light to two projects to sort out Nelson’s transport network, to build the Hope Bypass and get work started fixing Rocks Road.

Rocks Rd is the jewel in Nelson’s crown, but it is in need of some serious love. Having a modern transport link along Rocks Rd is vitally important to our region, but on a practical level, having a space that we can enjoy a bit more, with proper infrastructure for walking and cycling – will be great for Nelson.

It is really disappointing that the National Government has scrapped this important project from their list of key transport projects.

Add your name to my petition to help us get Rocks Rd back on the Government’s list of priority projects.
