Stop the nonsense in Grey St

1 min read

Grey St - what a dog’s breakfast, richly deserving of all the criticism and ridicule being heaped on it. 

It’s clear from all the gobbledygook in the project’s “story” that its planners live away in some parallel universe where no one is trying to run a business and there’s no commercial traffic. 

So much disruption and squandered money for a bunch of skateboarders who don’t even pay rates. 

Stop the nonsense now.

Last night, under the cover of darkness, this continues - with now additional vehicle speed bumps to negotiate.
Grey Street was closed from Childers Rd to Awapuni Rd roundabouts to facilitate this.
Guess what, Customhouse Street – Awapuni Rd was ALSO closed from Grey Street to Childers Rd roundabouts.
Imagine a fire or medical emergency at Waikanae? Numerous motels, Awapuni School, the Holiday Park let alone the many residential properties.
Those emergency vehicles having to re-route ALL the way to Stanley Rd (which, because of this, was pretty hectic) to access the area.
In emergencies, when minutes matter, BOTH direct accesses to Waikanae – Awapuni Rd closed at the same time…….that is lunacy.
Those additional speed bumps will also affect response times until removed.
