Driven by parents

1 min read

The article in The Gisborne Herald highlighted “Grey St is an area frequented by children on their way to the skatepark, pump park, the beach or Kiwa Pools”.

I concede some would use their skateboards for the skatepark and pump park, but 95 per cent of the children going to the beach or the Kiwa Pools would be travelling in motor vehicles mostly driven by their parents.
