Subdivision residents hemmed in after dispute over tiny stretch of road
Stuff - National: 21-Dec 2022
A community is stranded by a dispute over an 80-metre stretch of road.
For years, a second main exit from the Prestons Park subdivision in Christchurch has been planned, but the road remains unfinished as the Council and Developer argue over the intersection design.
The planned egress is at the south end of the subdivision. While it sits incomplete, residents have been forced to take a labyrinthine route to the main northern exit, or head out a narrow eastern one.
The limited options have left them concerned about congestion and safety, not to mention frustrated.
