Motorist's tyres ripped up by razor sharp road metal
Kaipara motorists are demanding compensation after their car tyres were ripped up by razor sharp road metal. They said the metal was wrongly laid and has left them with big bills. Since fresh metal was laid on Arapaoa, Hamlin and Neems Road south of Dargaville last month a number of residents have had punctures, some suffering multiple flat tyres and wheel damage. Local resident Rachael Gedye spoke to Lisa Owen.
