Road works around Hamilton.
Can anyone please tell me why we waste so much of our ratepayers money on traffic management around our city? I drove down Normandy Ave today heading into the city and about 100 metres from the shops on the cnr of Ohaupo rd there was a ute with flashing lights and a driver inside. 100 metres further down was a large truck with flashing lights and a driver inside Another 50 metres another large truck with flashing lights and road cones diverting traffic around it. Again another driver sitting inside. All this because some guys had part of a driveway dug up way in by the peoples letterbox. Each of those trucks and drivers are probably getting charged at $100 -$150 an hour. Even at $100 an hour that was probably 30 minutes each way from the depot and a minimum of 60 minutes on site. 6 hours= $600 minimum that was not needed and I see this time and time again around town. Why, why, why?

Poll: Would you like to live in Te Uku?
The tiny settlement of Te Uku could be about to get a lot bigger with the rezoning of 43 hectares of farmland into residential sections.
The sought-after ‘tranquil’ Waikato spot is for sale and is attracting developers from out of the country.
Would you like to live in Te Uku? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
