Residents' ideas on
deterring boy racers from using Warrington domain will be
collected after Thursday's public meeting and sent out as a
survey, Waikouaiti Coast Community Board chairman Alasdair
Morrison says.
About 50 people attended a meeting at Warrington Memorial
Hall to discuss boy racer convoys heading to Warrington
domain. Residents are concerned about noise and damage to the
domain's surface.
Mr Morrison said a few residents gave Powerpoint
demonstrations, most focusing on how to deter boy racers with
landscape changes, while not ruining genuine visitors'
enjoyment.
Someone jokingly suggested the floodlights from Carisbrook
could be commandeered to bathe the area in light.
Mr Morrison told the Otago Daily Times a lock-and-key
solution was not an option because the domain was fringed
with houses. Many domains in the Dunedin area are locked at
night.
Next week, suggestions would be mailed as a survey to
residents and crib owners, to be returned by the end of this
month.
The community board would hold a special meeting next month
to make a decision, rather than wait until the scheduled
community board meeting in September.
It was important the issue was resolved speedily, Mr Morrison
said.
