Sir,
I would like to take the time to congratulate you on a great venture. Well done and keep it up. I would also like to take the opportunity to sound out public opinion on the matter of access to our wonderful Valley. It is my understanding that we have a population of approx 10,000 in Stokes Valley - therefore why do we have to constantly drive all the way to Avalon or Silverstream to get out on to the main road? Why hasn't SV got its own bridge access. If one counted up the excess mileage in and out of the Valley every day - it would be horrendous. Is there anyone else out there that also thinks that we need our own bridge? Lets hear from you!
