Whangārei has been dubbed the City of Karens by social media commenters blasting the decision to remove musical chimes at the new Town Basin playground following noise complaints. Whangārei District Council (WDC) removed two sets of musical chimes, popular with all ages, over a week ago from the three-month-old $1 million-plus playground after five or six complaints from nearby businesses and residents.
