Highways Ministry denies permission to reprint letter

I was disappointed that permission to reprint her reply was not granted

Editor, The Times:

I have received a reply to my letter, dated Dec. 15, 2012, to the Ministry of Highways regarding the need for protective barriers on Highway 5 south of Clearwater along the North Thompson River.

I would like to thank Sherry Eland, district manager, transportation, for her response. When I contacted the Ministry to request permission to make her reply public I was informed that this was against their policy. I was disappointed that permission to reprint her reply was not granted.

At the present time the Ministry is waiting for the results of an RCMP and internal Ministry safety review on this stretch of highway. I have asked that the results of this review be made public to allow for response from the community.
