NZ TRANSPORT AGENCY - CONSULTATION OPEN ON MAORI BILINGUAL TRAFFIC SIGNS PROGRAMME
How could we ever forget the complete and utter waste of taxpayers/ratepayers money spent by the Hamilton City Council and the NZ Transport Agency on the Innovating Streets programme? Bearing this in mind, and the increasingly poor condition of many of our roads which require massive amounts of funding to repair, last week the transport agency announced that its He Tohu Huarahi Māori Bilingual Traffic Signs programme was going out for public consultation. If successful, it would result in destination signs, public and active transport signs, walking and cycling signs, general advisory and warning signs, plus motorway and expressway signs being replaced with bilingual versions.
To assist those who wish to make a submission, I have copied the following information from the NZ Transport Agency's website at www.nzta.govt.nz...

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Tributes flow for Paul Galletta
Paul Galletta, “a real Waikato guy”, was farewelled by police and the rugby community at FMG Stadium on Wednesday.
A crowd of nearly 1500 gathered to celebrate the life of Galletta, who died at the age of 62 on November 23.
Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
