A Napier resident is sick of waking up every morning and looking across the Ahuriri Estuary to see pou in a "disgraceful" condition.
After letters to the Napier City Council and to the Government, Joy Morris wants something to be done.
In March this year Mrs Morris sent a letter to Maori party co-leader Marama Fox and her letter of concern was handed to Napier Mayor Bill Dalton.
Mr Dalton then said he forwarded the letter to appropriate staff members and the matter would be followed up.
However, now five months later, the pou are still in a "poor state".
