'Last chance' petition for more access to Bay of Islands coast

Over 2,500 people have signed a petition calling on the Far North District Council to secure public access to Taronui Bay. Currently, for Kerikeri locals and tourists alike who wish to access the coast, the only way to reach the beach is a 3.7km walk across crown owned farm land which is simply not feasible for everyone. The petition calls for the construction of a suitable driving route and is especially significant for the members of the Kerikeri community, who have seen their access to the pristine beaches steadily be cut off as the surrounding land is privatised. Keri Molloy is the petition organiser and joins Karyn to discuss the situation.
