Ferry Bridge carpark upgrade
A much-needed redevelopment of the car park area at Ferry Bridge just outside the Spring Creek township was completed before Christmas for the summer season.
The area is a popular swimming spot with locals and the upgraded carpark provides off road parking for river users.
Accessibility has been enhanced with paths and further plantings will take place in the upcoming autumn planting season.
Council’s Small townships Programme provided the funds for this developed as part of the wider Growing Marlborough Strategy.
Councillor Barbara Faulls, chair of Small Townships Committee, said the carpark had been well used.
“With the recent temperatures and the great summer we are having, it’s wonderful to see this riverside asset being so well used by the community,” she said.
