Issues with motorbikes in Minogue park

Janet Neighbourly Lead from Frankton

This is an off lead dog park with signs at all entrances stating no motorcycles, motor vehicles or golf
Almost every night lately there has been some type of small motor bike tearing through the park with a helmetless rider
Last night a large ute got in to the park even though there are bollards??
They unloaded  a small motorbike  and various children or adult/children combos rode around - adults with no helmet. This is dangerous, as lots of the dogs chase them, being a foreign noisy moving thing in a dog park. It is an accident waiting to happen, as the bikes increase speed and try and get away from the dogs.
If you see this, please ring the council 07-8386699 or the police if there are no helmets 07-8586200
WHERE CAN THEY RIDE THESE BIKES LEGALLY AND SAFELY??

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.

While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
