District council community projects officer Mike Kwant says people are still flouting the rules, despite the council's best intentions.
"We continue to be disappointed by the number of vehicle owners driving in the sand dunes of our beaches, especially Pines Beach.
"We have also suffered ongoing vandalism of fences put in place to protect both this natural environment and the safety and enjoyment of visitors," he says.

Fernside School PTA president Natasha Pagan says it took several years to raise the close to $6000 needed for the community's new automated external defibrillator, so it was exciting to finally get it.
"We noticed there was a need for the defibrillator in the community, as the nearest one is [5 kilometres away] in Rangiora," she says.
"We feel very privileged that we were able to provide something so life-changing in our community."

It's the second such note to be left on a Rangiora family's car within two months.
Reality Bites Cafe owner Karl Horwarth says he found the "very upset" woman, who was almost in tears, as he was leaving the cafe last week.
Horwarth, who uses a wheelchair himself, said the woman had a mobility permit for a disability that was not necessarily obvious.
"I had a quick chat to her and told her not to get upset as I get notes like that all the time."
