We drove from Timaru (10.30)to CHCH on fri 30th sept in very extreme
traffic volumes in both directions.
We drove around the CHCH airport bypass and on to the new northern
bypass motorway to walkabout
the shops in Kaiapoi and then on to Rangiora.
We then drove through a dead/ dead brooklands on south to New Brighton.
Well there were at least 8 patrol cars and 4 other ancillary vehicles in
the police station car park.
Then we went to Eastgate for shopping and home using the southern
motorway bypass past the A+P grounds.
Then on home to Timaru (arrived 8 p.m.) again in extreme traffic in both directions plus the thunderstorm rain showers.
THE POINT WAS THAT WE SAW NO HIGHWAY PATROL CARS ON THE ROAD THE WHOLE
TRIP, even while walking about town.
Where in the hell has our Police force been xferred to . Not on patrol
it seems.
I will copy this to the police minister.
