Disputed Hawkes Bay road blocked

KEY POINTS:

    Trees were felled across a disputed road yesterday on the Mahia Peninsula in northern Hawkes Bay.

    The two trees were blocking a portion of Ormond Rd which was built over a cemetery reserve on Maori land, Senior Sergeant Tony Bates of Wairoa said.

    No arrests were made and
    Mahia beach residents were able to use an alternative road.
