March to close down SH2 over Wairoa Bridge
Members of the community and from the 'Fix The Bloody Road' group are protesting for what they say is a much needed upgrade of State Highway 2, between Katikati and Tauranga.
Taking place on Sunday September 16, the road will be blocked off from either side of the Wairoa Bridge at 3pm. Once there is no traffic going over the bridge they plan on marching for 30 mins.
Organisers plan to meet at Taniwha place reserve at 2.30pm before the March. Later the same day, Bay of Plenty MP Todd Muller and National Party Transport Spokesperson Jami-Lee Ross are holding a public meeting regarding SH2, taking place at Omokoroa Settlers’ Hall from 4.30pm onwards.

This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
