Fix Ferry Road

Kettering Foreshore Walkway extensions

One of the most pedestrian unfriendly parts of the walk between the Ferry Terminal and Oyster Cove Marina has been bypassed.

Up until recently the only way to travel on foot in a westerly direction from the western end of South Haven Marina was along Ferry Road.  This often entailed squeezing between the Armco barrier and the queued ferry traffic.  If a log truck or a gravel truck came along while negotiating this section then extreme caution was required.

Now, thanks the enterprise of the proprietor of  Able Marine pedestrians can now continue along the waterfront  on their newly completed boardwalk.

A Kettering Foreshore Walkway has been on the drawing board for years but as with most other government or Council initiatives that’s where Ferry Road projects usually stay.  You couldn’t be blamed if you thought that  both these organisations have a predeliction for spending all their money on consultants, studies and consultation rather than getting on and doing something practical.

Thanks for showing them the way Angelo.
