In a most mysterious move, the letter P has been taped over on dozens of road signs on the Kapiti Coast, north of Wellington, bemusing motorists and annoying the council. It is thought to be part of an anti-methamphetamine message, to "take the P out of Kapiti", but mayor K Gurunathan is not impressed. Altering road signs could be considered wilful damage and didn't achieve much in the way of public goodwill, he said. Kapiti Coast District Council environmental standards manager Jacquie​ Muir said willfully damaging property was an offence and not condoned by council. Porirua's Postgate Dr briefly lost its P, and signs in Levin had also fallen prey to the mysterious vandals.
