Slip sliding away By Paul Charman
Vehicles skid off a dangerous stretch of Ngutunui Rd, near Puketotara, nearly every week. That’s according to locals who have contacted The News to plead for motorists to observe a 50 km/h speed limit along about 1.5 km of the road, just north of Ngutunui School.
‘Motorists clearly aren’t slowing down,’ - fire chief Neville King. The problem is worn seal, which the Ōtorohanga District Council cannot repair till the weather improves. The short section of road is extensively sign-posted with both 50 km/h signs and more signs warning motorists to slow down. “But motorists clearly aren’t slowing down,” says Ōtorohanga Volunteer Fire Brigade chief Neville King. The brigade was called out after vehicles crashed on the same corner in Ngutunui Rd on Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday last week. Residents living near Ngutunui Rd are pleading for motorists to slow down there. From left, Allan and Delwyn Knighton, Margaret Ormsby, Karen Crake and Barry Continued on page 2 Blackford.
