Beach road to Cape Kidnappers remains closed while risk measures put in place
Hastings District Council says beach access from Clifton to Cape Kidnappers will remain closed until risk management measures are put in place.
This week the council voted to re-open the beach road which has been closed since January due to major slips.
At its meeting this week the council also approved a detailed risk analysis to take place over the next six months.
In a statement the council said will have a firmer idea of the timing of the re-opening late next week “and council staff are working on this with urgency”.
Hastings mayor Sandra Hazlehurst says while the council would like to re-open the road as soon as possible, public safety has to be the key priority.
“The road will stay closed while the process is worked through, and while risk mitigation measures are put in place to try and keep our community safe,” she says.
