Children in Peril in Raumati Beach traffic

Why Won’t Council Protect Kids from Dangerous Traffic at Raumati?

Alan Tristram is asking Councillors and Mayor Gurunathan why they appear to be doing nothing to protect young children from traffic dangers at Raumati Beach.

He says: “The situation is so bad I’m writing this open letter to elected officials asking why they have done nothing effective to protect young children from the chaotic traffic.

“Mayor and Councillors, you seem to devote a massive amount of time to prestige projects, and climate action, but nothing to provide basic protection for our young children.

“Last year we arranged for Cr Janet Holborow to see for herself the dangers faced by children from two schools, and three early learning centres, as they make their way to lessons.

Cr Bernie Randall has also taken an interest since his election.

But eight months after we raised the issue nothing effective has been done.
