Why do Western Bay and Te Puke councils kowtow to the wealthy?
After all, it is the average ratepayer who votes them in to office.
Recently, the so-called ‘bright laddies' from the council told us that because we had reduced the number of vehicles flowing through Te Puke, (thanks to Tauranga Eastern Link) we must reduce speed on the open road, in the interest of safety.
Now we are told that, and with this reduced flow of traffic, we need to change the traffic flow from two to one lane, ‘... to make it safer for shoppers and pedestrians?!?'.
Te Puke is the Kiwifruit Capital of the World. The silent majority are comfortable with this.
A few avaricious retailers are manipulating the displays, in a desperate bid to attract more custom.
