Poll: Will you attend your local Anzac parade?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Road cones have won the battle, but hopefully not the war, after forcing two small town Anzac parades to retreat from the main road and instead have veterans parading down the footpath.

The defeat has seen Transport Minister Chris Bishop also fire shots at what he described as “insane and absurd” rules, and prohibitive costs of temporary traffic management and vow to do something about it.
