Concerned: The State of Hamilton's Roads and Sidewalks

Maureen from Tamahere

Has anyone else noticed how incredibly filthy the roads and sidewalks have become recently, especially when entering and exiting Hamilton from the South?

There's an alarming amount of debris and trash around the off-ramp toward Airport Road and its surroundings. And not even one trash bin on either of these pedestrian paths.

Who is responsible for this, and why haven't we seen any campaigns from councils to address the littering?

It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
