Locals are asking for the badly flood-damaged road into the popular Hollyford track to be opened by summer. 

The road has been closed since February, blocking off easy access to the track and its huts. Later this month a meeting will be held to outline the damage, and what it might cost to fix.

Jules Tapper, who has previously made a living taking tours on the track, and Southland District Council's Strategic Manager Transport Hartley Hare discuss.
