Storey Avenue Chicane
Recently our community Hall at 8 Storey Ave has been identified as having a traffic chicane to be added to the front road access to the building.
While we all recognise that traffic is fast through all streets in Hamilton the siting of this one is causing us all concern as we have not been able to convince the council that it will seriously impact our community users.
It will block access to our disabled park and leaves no room for us to load or unload items as we often do. Can you all please look at the pictures and help us by convincing the council to adjust the siting to allow free access to our community hall.
Contact the council by email: roads@hcc.govt.nz or calling Richard Teeuwenon 072450094.
feedback needs be by Friday 12th August 5pm.
We value your support.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
