Taking a break...

FixMyStreet is going offline shortly, probably permanently. The software is old and needs a complete rewrite, the site is being bombarded by spammers, and it is debatable whether councils are receiving and/or acting on FixMyStreet reports.

As of now, it is not possible to post new issues, or updates to published issues.

The southern most end of the Motutere Bay Recreation Reserve where it meets the DoC Mission Bay Reserve, is an area in TDC management. Last year it was left unmown and gorse and weeds have regenerate on embankment opp. Mission Bay Rd to the south end. Up to 2011 TDC progressively brought this area of weed infested embankment into an easily managed state, It started progressively replanting it. Using donated funds by an estate beneficiary a track was established along it and a memorial seat placed on it. The area was left unkempt last year, weeds are becoming established, gorse broom and other weeds now returning. It's a shame to see progressive betterments of an area being neglected. At the least the area could be mowed regularly. The area was even mowed easily once a year - embankment and all by a large tractor with good wide wheels - he just drove it sideways along the embankment slope - took less than 30 min to do. Jamie Gainsford knows the area and how it was maintained.

This is a false report by staff that has been posted. The area has not been maintained for 3 years. I'm disappointed at your lack of basic honesty in your reporting more than that you don't do the work.
