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.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
