Storey Avenue Chicane
Recently our community Hall at 8 Storey Ave has been identified as having a traffic chicane to be added to the front road access to the building.
While we all recognise that traffic is fast through all streets in Hamilton the siting of this one is causing us all concern as we have not been able to convince the council that it will seriously impact our community users.
It will block access to our disabled park and leaves no room for us to load or unload items as we often do. Can you all please look at the pictures and help us by convincing the council to adjust the siting to allow free access to our community hall.
Contact the council by email: roads@hcc.govt.nz or calling Richard Teeuwenon 072450094.
feedback needs be by Friday 12th August 5pm.
We value your support.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

What do you think about this car park's condition?
A Tokoroa local says the car park at Tokoroa Hospital is a “third world” shambles and is not a good look for the town’s public medical centre.
Olaf Langhenkel said the state of the car park, which is riddled with potholes and past attempts at repair, had been deteriorating for around five years and nothing had been done about it.
