The overgrown roundabout obscures this Holden Captiva (inset) before it rounds the bend. But many motorists say the overgrown vegetation in the middle of the Halswell Junction Rd and Springs Rd roundabout is a danger – and a potential fire risk. Dozens have complained to Halswell Ward city councillor Andrei Moore. “It’s an overgrown roundabout. Is the maintenance about safety or is it aesthetic?”The overgrown roundabout is a key junction between Wigram, Hornby, Halswell and Prebbleton.
