Firstly, the philosophy of one love is to ''spread the love around.'' That being the case, it would be a loving gesture not to have the heavy beat of music being heard around Ohauiti and Poike areas until 10.30pm.Which raises another point - how is it that speedway events MUST stop all activity no later than 10.00pm and yet, these activities cannot usually be heard in the areas noted above?Does someone like so-called music more than infrequent racing engines?
