In Riverside ward, many residents want the station closer to the market, where most people work. In Kora, residents want it beside the clinic, so that older people can reach it on foot.

"We were heard at the hearings, but the map did not change," said a Riverside shopkeeper who asked not to be named.

At Kora Junction, the farmers' cooperative supports the depot site because it would bring a tarmac road to its cold store.

The council says station positions can still move by up to 300 metres during the land survey.
