Wellsfords future hinges on new highway

Concerns over whether Wellsford would die if bypassed by the proposed Puhoi to Wellsford highway were raised at a public meeting in the town last month.

The meeting was convened by the NZ Transport Authority which was seeking public consultation before detailed planning of the 38km new highway gets underway. Submissions on the project closed on August 2.
