I would like to give the Tauranga City Council a huge high five for the speed and expertise of their service with regard to the care of roundabouts. I wrote a note just a couple of weeks ago asking for two roundabouts that I use frequently to be trimmed. They had become quite overgrown and it was hard for a little old lady like me in a small car to see safely to her right.

Within the week the grass had been trimmed beautifully and safe driving has been resumed!

I'm sure the council receive plenty of complaints, but in this case they deserve well-earnt praise. Thanks from one very satisfied ratepayer.
