ROADS BLOCKED AND DAMAGED BRIDGES.
WESTPORT’S ISOLATION.
Westport, Last Night. At the Borough Council meeting to-night, it was decided to ask the Ministers for Railways and Marine to take steps to provide for the safety of the Buller Bridge, which is endangered/ by serious erosion of the riverbank about the bridge, this being on the main highway to and from Westport. A number of people who have been stranded here since Sunday, owing to the Buller road being blocked by damaged bridges and slips, are leaving to-night by boat for Greymouth. Others bound for Christchurch for the Cup meeting, are leaving overland to-morrow. They will have to travel on foot some of the distance between blockages, cars meeting them on Ihe other side of the slips.
