  16. How about this issue created by this current cabinet..Three Southland roads are at risk of reverting to gravel as the district council struggles to maintain its network amid funding issues. A report prepared for a Wednesday meeting said Southland District Council had the second largest road network in the country with close to 5,000km of roads.
