Brain dead hoons ruin our park
Wow we have some true scum in Napier.
I turned up to Park Island on Saturday, May 28, for junior soccer.
Overnight some brain-dead people had cut a chain and taken their car on to the soccer pitches and done wheelies over four of them and left
glass bottles everywhere (good for police finger prints if you are reading this).
People like this should be named and shamed.
It's not just the damage they did to the grass, but what if a child had fallen on broken glass and been hurt?
People like this don't care about anybody but themselves until they are caught.
If you are reading this I hope you feel proud. Better yet why don't you come forward? Oh that's right you are gutless cowards.
Unfortunately it is not just Park Island where this is happening.
Took my son up to botanical gardens last weekend and people had been up there the night before and thrown bottles and smashing them down the stair.
A man told me that he was there the night before and a group had parked their cars at the top of the hill and were having a gathering in the gardens. When he spoke to them they verbally abused him and told him to get lost.
Unfortunately for them this man was one step in front of them and had taken there regos and passed them onto the police.
I personally would have walked back up the hill and let some tyres down and then rang the police.

Re Riverbend Rd WIT facility:
I can assure Mr Doug Banks that the immediate and affected neighbours are not comfortable with his facility and their mood has definitely not changed. Peaceful?
He obviously doesn't know the area. He has very busy 70km/h and 100km/h roads on either side of his Huka Lodge.
This is not the place for mentally unwell people.
The neighbourhood committee went to meetings with Doug Banks and WIT which Stuart Nash mediated at. WIT was asked to show neighbours that there was no need for concern. WIT couldn't and wouldn't.
At the last meeting WIT said that they don't care what people think. It is going ahead.WIT (whatever it takes). So true. The people that live around this facility don't matter as far as Napier City Council, MPs and WIT are concerned.Allen and Elizabeth StreetNapier
Offer them guidanceRe hero schoolboys foil girl's abduction. These young men are an asset to our community and should not be forgotten as such. What are their vocational plans for the future? I would like to think that those in related work fields will offer them guidance.
