Lazy Pokemon Go players put stopbanks at riskWarwick Smith The Mangaone Stream, near Pioneer Highway. Palmerston North's stopbanks could be at risk of being damaged by people playing Pokemon Go in their cars. With more rainfall, and a higher risk of flooding, the stopbanks needed to be maintained. It is not the first case of Pokemon Go players turning up somewhere they were not welcome. Buchanan said fly-tipping was also an issue along the stream's stopbanks and an added reason to investigate barriers.
