Much improved

Noise and behavioural problems at Selwyn Reserve have improved considerably over the past few years. While there are still intermittent issues, local residents report that they are nowhere near as severe as they have been. I doubt it is possible to get rid of all issues, but let's celebrate the improvement.

The improvement has been due to a wide range of measure taken. There has been no magic silver bullet but rather a steady and methodical approach with multiple elements.

• greater police presence and faster response to complaints
• regular Maori Warden presence - these guys have done a great job
• increased parking restrictions to discourage overnight partying
• alignment of the times the parking lots close and the Tamaki Drive parking restriction cut in to help police move vehicles on when they leave the parking areas
• improved lighting
• improved signage
