Celine Dion siren battlers return to West Auckland
Kia ora neighbours, residents of West Auckland say they are once again being tortured by the sound of Celine Dion blasting though loudspeakers while they try to sleep.
Residents of Te Atatū Peninsula say over the summer, up to 50 cars park up at the Concourse in nearby Henderson, where they blast music throughout the night.
While a range of music can be heard coming from the speakers attached to the cars, two hit songs by Celine Dion seem to be favourites – My Heart Will Go On and The Power of Love.
