Summary

Farmers in Tasman are opposing a proposed new route for the Great Taste Trail, which would cut through active farmland. The council is grappling with balancing the needs of farmers and the desire to reopen the popular trail, with supporters emphasizing the importance of keeping cyclists off busy roads for tourism. Officials are committed to negotiating agreements with landowners, including providing necessary fencing and gates, and are open to adjusting the trails alignment to minimize disruption to farming activities.
