First there was a battle of the bats in Tamahere Reserve, now signs are at the centre of a controversy.
Each of the three advertising signs used to generate $88 per month for the Tamahere-Mangaone Restoration Trust, which uses the cash to improve the area.
Now Waikato District Council has told the trust to take them down, saying it received a complaint and they are a safety issue.
Trust volunteer Mark Bacchus said the group was seriously considering its future.

The signs are less than 60 metres from a controlled intersection, council's community connections manager Megan May said, so they breach a District Plan provision.

(They will know who they are. Sadly, I didn`t get their names). They supported my elderly friend until I arrived, assisted me in trying to get him into my car then waited until the ambulance arrived. Thanks again so very much. Your actions were very, very much appreciated.
