Estate Party To Fake News
Stuff and no doubt the DomPost and Hutt News/Upper Leader to follow have or will publish a story on people hooning around in vehicles and the lack of police or council action to stop the commotion usually late at night.
Trouble is the implication of the story is that the Wallaceville Estate as one of the venues for the hooning and this developing residential housing area is at the centre of high ended noise levels and general mayhem which has residents of the estate too scared to confront the villians or take videos or photos to present to authorities.
In other word the Estate is getting bad raps.
But the truth of the matter is the spasmodic burn-outs etc are occurring on the non-residential streets on the East side of Alexander Road with Alexander Road itself open to speeding.
I spoke to Jamie Gillies on the matter and he said the reporter refused to listen to him when told that the Wallaceville Estate inner roads and streets were not the subject of these issues.
You cannot let the truth hinder a "good" story.
I emailed the UHCC about the burn-outs many months ago but am still waiting for a reply.
