flag Residents in Pāpāmoa oppose council’s plan to resurface roads with chip seal, calling it unnecessary and disruptive.

flag Residents in Pāpāmoa, New Zealand, are opposing Tauranga City Council’s plan to resurface several asphalt roads with chip seal, arguing the roads are in good condition and the change is unnecessary and disruptive. flag The council says early signs of surface deterioration justify the work to prevent more costly structural damage, emphasizing chip seal as the most cost-effective option. flag Asphalt would cost up to $400,000 more per road and require significant resident contributions due to limited co-funding. flag Residents, citing safety and noise concerns, want their streets left unchanged and are pushing for a community meeting.
