Poll: What do you think about this roading move?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A battle over 28 seconds has erupted into vandalism, outrage, and division on a quiet Tamahere street, after “vigilantes” ripped out traffic-calming measures installed by the district council.

Matthew Scarborough and Lauren McLean, who live on Birchwood Lane with their three children, say the act has undermined years of constructive work by residents who had been advocating for road safety.
