Lyttelton residents crowdsourcing for cameras to discourage boy racers

Lyttelton residents crowdsourcing for cameras to discourage boy racersNouveau6 min

A group of Christchurch residents are crowd sourcing funds for a surveillance camera to discourage noisy street hoons. Lyttleton's had problems with loud cars and motorbikes using some roads like racing tracks, with the hills amplifying the noise. The group, Quieter and Safer Roads, has raised $4000 for a high-tech camera to clock speeds and noise levels. They hope the data will convince authorities to come up with a long-term solution. Lyttelton Harbour resident Dave Dunlay spoke to Lisa Owen.
