I hope the orange cone mob go with them.

Recently on the Napier to Wairoa road on the straight just north of Lake Tutira, one small digger was working, attended by 6 orange cone mob vehicles, and at least 12 orange cone mobsters.
Over 200 cones laid out.
At what cost?

On other jobs in Napier, the cone mobsters lay out the cones, then every 15 minutes or so, move them backwards or forwards 100mm, in a vain attempt to look busy and justify their existence.

Absolutely. My street is currently shutoff - this is the while street of around 800m - for a piece of work which covers 3 sq meters at one end. They have closed a whole lane yet stand around and not managing the traffic flow. Two cars almost had a head-on collision this morning. All the residents move their cars on the entire street. We cannot get out of our driveways and i wasn't even sure if the rubbish trucks would get through. Someone is making a bucket load on this using our ever increasing rates to pay for it.
