Dear Lynley Scott,
What would be the objective in closing this gate?
Yours sincerely,
James Russell

Dear Lynley Scott,
Considering that this gate, if legal, will have a 'written permit' as you advise [Sect 344 LGA Gates and cattle stops] and as there is no livestock either side at any time, nor has there ever been or likely to be; I ask again; what would be the objective, in closing the gate? What would happen?
Yours sincerely,
James Russell
From: James Russell
Dear Lynley Scott,
THE UN-PERMITTED GATE IS NOW, AFTER 3 YEARS OF COMPLAINTS.
'GONE'
A WIN FOR THE SHAG POINT RATEPAYER.
Now let's get someone other than the ratepayers of Shag Point to pay for the unauthorised damage to the road
Yours sincerely,
James Russell
