The sound of music reverberating across Whangārei s Hātea River is no more, after numerous complaints from residents - and children and parents are lamenting the loss. The popular chime musical instruments have been removed from the new Town Basin playground just three months after it opened. The $1 million-plus Whangārei District Council (WDC) six-month redevelopment project was complete at the end of January.
