Horses wandering on Aotea/Morrison roads have been an issue
The ongoing issue of horses wandering on Aotea/Morrison Roads has been resolved following a meeting last week, according to Kāwhia community board chair Geoff Good.
Photos warning of horses on Aotea Rd appear every few months on local social media.
“We had a meeting this week with horse owners along Morrison Rd, most of you are aware of the issues that’s been happening around that area,” he said at last week’s community board meeting.
“We had a really positive outcome – we had Waikato regional council come over, we had DOC represented, and we had Morgan the new temporary policewoman that’s here in Kāwhia. She had done a lot of homework leading up to the meeting. And so it was a meeting that had solutions not problems.
“Because we all knew what the problems were. And about half an hour later the solution was all done and dusted.”
Good hoped the solution would apply not only to Aotea Horse Treks, but also the Okapu Marae.
“So there will be a lot safer travels on the Aotea/Morrison roads in future,” he said.
