Poll: Should a Tamahere volunteer group get to keep its advertising signs up?
First there was a battle of the bats in Tamahere Reserve, now signs are at the centre of a controversy.
Each of the three advertising signs used to generate $88 per month for the Tamahere-Mangaone Restoration Trust, which uses the cash to improve the area.
Now Waikato District Council has told the trust to take them down, saying it received a complaint and they are a safety issue.
Trust volunteer Mark Bacchus said the group was seriously considering its future.
"Without this source of funding, operations will need to be severely curtailed."
The signs are less than 60 metres from a controlled intersection, council's community connections manager Megan May said, so they breach a District Plan provision.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
