Glen Olsen: Paraparaumu Community Board Chair on removal of Kaitawa reserve flying fox

A much-loved flying fox in Paraparaumu is being shut down by the council after it failed to meet safety standards.   A frayed cable meant that residents woke up to find the ride padlocked and a sign saying it had been closed.  Paraparaumu Community Board Chair Glen Olsen told Matt and Tyler that “It was fast, it was long, and it was exciting, and it had a thrill”  He said that modern flying foxes are bound by safety restrictions that make the ride less entertaining for children.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
