Council and Oliver meet halfway on bridge
The seemingly never-ending saga of Winston Oliver' s bridge across the Manganui a Te Ao had another turn added to it at the Waimarino Community Board's October meeting, when the board heard that timber to repair the bridge would be paid for and delivered bv the council. with Mr Oliver nrnvirlinor the
labour. The board heard that Mr
Oliver would need to sign a contract accepting responsibility for safety of the bridge and his work, otherwise if an accident happened, the council would be liable. The council-o wned foot s wingbridge was recently closed by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), and the council had earlier declined to accept responsibility for its repair, citing its policy whereby it does not maintain roads beyond gates and cattle stops.
