The time has come for the local people needing to take back control of Tauranga. We have seen very good changes for Auckland, Christchurch and Rotorua.
We currently have an overpaid commissioner being directed by central government and we have no say. We have groups that are running riot making changes to the city with no consultation with the people. We see it with transport and one man there directing changes as he sees fit, just quotes from him all the time to what he wants. I see badly maintained parks were contractors are accountable to no one, rough work. I see red hats everywhere and no one seems to be working. I see pot holes. Why does public construction in Tauranga take so long, no one ever seems to be working, get on with it.
The people of Tauranga have had enough, and the best example is now Auckland which is going to have a total change. Can the people of Tauranga get out of there arm chairs and be accountable for there city, and not let government appointments take the salary.
The biggest change we need, is stop all the rubbish about Links Ave and get it re opened. It’s school holidays no one’s anywhere near that road and the other two roads are totally blocked. An unacceptable cost to motorists, why did we let it happen.
I am a cyclist and the mess and dangerous cycle way in Totara streets is just crazy. You are safer to stick to the road.
Tauranga we need a change. Let’s get the city moving and make it safer, it’s for everyone.
