A Hamilton East street and park have been gifted new names to better reflect the city’s heritage.
Von Tempsky St will become Putikitiki St and the nearby Dawson Park will be Te Wehenga Park in line with a Hamilton City Council community committee vote on Tuesday night.
For crying out loud why? Think of the cost of doing this, think of all the maps that will need to be altered, think of all the satnavs telling you there is no such street, I wonder who was trying to keep their job by suggesting this, Von Tempsky St has had its name for as long as I can remember.
Bloody council!!!
