BRASS SCREWS SCATTERED ON CAVENDISH DRIVE!!!!

Carissa from Papatoetoe

At 1.00pm today, I spotted a pile of brass screws at the intersection of Norman Spencer Drive and Cavendish Drive in the Eastbound lane outside Chipmunks that have now been scattered all over the road. I called it through to Auckland Transport. But be careful, they could be all the way along Cavendish by now. Check tyres tonight and in the morning.
