Residents of Tauranga's Avenues say they have become too scared to walk down their street because of increasing crowds of homeless people.
The 12th Ave residents have signed a petition calling for Tauranga City Council
to remove the loiterers, which is expected to be presented to commissioners when they meet on Tuesday.
