There was an overwhelming number of community-driven residents that were disgusted at the degradation of our community – first impression for tourists and visitors when driving through Te Puna during peak time of year.
I have phoned NZTA over the past three years to discuss my concern about the eyesore each Christmas/New Year and was assured that the matter would be investigated.
I am genuinely indebted to the phantom baler who kindly comes to the rescue in order to restore some sanity to our beautiful rural village.
I invite NZTA to speak at the next Te Puna Heartlands meeting on April 11, 7.30pm Te Puna Hall. We look forward to consulting with you on this matter and resolving how to mow on a regular basis or alternatively we offer to mow for you at no cost to your organisation.

Thank you Mr Hay Baler, awesome job done.

Great idea making hay. Natural unlike all the roundabouts filled with tons of concrete.

Never let a boy do a man’s job. I take my hat off and have a couple of beers with the person or persons who cut the grass for hay. A job well done. We have a problem with lack of maintenance on our roads as I am sure most areas do. Potholes etc everywhere… what puzzles me is where are our rates going, and these same rates keep increasing every year. Whose back pocket is being lined with our money?
