Tauranga City council has a plan to help a waterfront neighbourhood plagued by drug use, burnouts and speeding. Elsewhere in the city, Pāpāmoa residents are fed up with the excessive road noise and in the Western Bay, voter turnout for the election rose despite the council spending $70,000 less on its election campaign.
