Nick Smith: Nelson mayor on out of control weeds blocking Nelson roundabouts

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Nelson's roundabouts and traffic islands have a huge problem with unkempt weeds.

Waka Kotahi is meant to maintain it, but this isn't done regularly. They’ve said this task is too dangerous for their contractors and not cost effective.

There have been complaints about this before, but it has got to the point where Nelson council has labelled it a safety hazard.

Nelson mayor Nick Smith explained the extent of the problem.
