Porirua parents win fight with council over playground fence being removed

Honestly good on them. Councils think they can just do whatever they want without asking the people who actually use the park.

oh great another NIMBY victory. playground fence kept because a few loud parents whinged. what about the rest of us who don't want kids running onto the road?

Leo McKenzie2026-07-23T06:41:18.000Z

nah it's not NIMBY it's common sense. you don't remove a fence parents want unless you got a good reason

Taylor Wright2026-07-23T06:32:18.000Z

freaking angry? lol Anita sounds like she was ready to take the council to court 😂

Leo McKenzie2026-07-23T06:39:18.000Z

Council probably spent more on the consultation than the fence was worth. Classic.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-23T07:06:18.000Z

right? pure chaos for no reason 😂

I get why parents are angry but also the fence was there for a reason? my cousin's kid got hit by a car playing near a road, it's not something to joke about

democracy works! love seeing communities fight back against pointless bureaucracy

ffs Porirua council what a load of crap. Taking away a playground fence that parents wanted? Who's running this place, a bunch of clowns?

Casey Adams2026-07-23T07:15:18.000Z

lol imagine caring this much about a fence at night. some of us got real problems

Casey Adams2026-07-23T08:01:18.000Z

no but fr the road danger is real. i live near this park and drivers fly through there. fence should stay

Reagan Shaw2026-07-23T07:27:18.000Z

yeah nah let the kids play. we survived without fences back in the day

Ella Thompson2026-07-23T07:48:18.000Z

survived without fences? also survived without car seats and seatbelts. doesn't mean we should ditch them now

Taylor Wright2026-07-23T07:37:18.000Z

my 2 cents: put the fence back but make it a gate so adults can get through. problem solved now give me my medal 🏅
