Child death by truck on way to school - Kamo Road
My heart goes out to the parents, the family and friends of the child who got killed on Kamo road yesterday early morning.
What can we do to convince the Whangarei District Council to ban heavy trucks from our suburbs and from downtown and enforce the use of SH1 instead?
Every day and night heavy trucks are thundering up and down through Kamo village, down Kamo road. They know they should use the bypass, but they don't. We all know the companies, most trucks carry names.
Often they continue their path through Kensington and Regent past the Hatea river, though the inner city to Port road.
Along Kamo road alone we have several big and small schools, Primary and Intermediate as well as Early childhood centres.
How many more children have to die?
Other NZ towns make the use of bypasses compulsory for heavy traffic - why don't we? The town roads are not built for the weight of the heavy trucks anyway and require repairs constantly!
Any thoughts, my neighbours?

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
