Someone will get killed if speed restrictions approved previously for the Akitio Beach foreshore aren't adhered too, a long-time campaigner has warned the Tararua District Council.
Tom Horrocks of Masterton told district councillors he's had a vested interest in Akitio since 1969.
"I have a passion for the place and we proposed a 30km/h speed restriction [down from 50km/h] from the Moanaroa Station woolshed to the barbecue site on the foreshore during Christmas and New Year, and it was approved by this council. But somebody will get killed because nothing has been done to enforce that speed limit. Nothing, diddly-squat."
Mr Horrocks said speeding motorists were travelling between 70km/h and 80km/h, a problem which becomes especially bad during holiday periods.
"With grandchildren growing up I am petrified," he said.
