Kia ora,

 

We refer to your information request below. Hamilton City Council provides
the following response.

 

Your request:

 

On the 11th of March 2025 I was on the Pukete Bridge, Wairere Drive,
heading towards Huntington, and in the far left lane. I was Travelling in
a white BYD Shark Ute QYR432. It was approximately 5.25 pm. When someone
rear ended me out of the blue. Because I was on the bridge in peak traffic
there was nowhere to stop.
When we came up to the lights I headed straight and the little silver car
that had hit me turned off to Flagstaff. I am just wondering if there is
any footage of the incident, as it was quite a big bang. I am hoping there
may be footage at the lights on Wairere Drive, Flagstaff and River Road.
The car was directly behind me.

 

Our response:

 

Hamilton City Council only holds CCTV footage for 7 days, as you are
asking for footage from 11 March 2024 this is past our retention
timeframe. As such we will be refusing your request under s17(e) of LGOIMA
– this information no longer exists.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of

Dear Hamilton City Council,

On the 11th of March 2025 I was on the Pukete Bridge, Wairere Drive,
heading towards Huntington, and in the far left lane. I was Travelling in
a white BYD Shark Ute QYR432. It was approximately 5.25 pm. When someone
rear ended me out of the blue. Because I was on the bridge in peak traffic
there was nowhere to stop.

When we came up to the lights I headed straight and the little silver car
that had hit me turned off to Flagstaff. I am just wondering if there is
any footage of the incident, as it was quite a big bang. I am hoping there
may be footage at the lights on Wairere Drive, Flagstaff and River Road.
The car was directly behind me.

Yours faithfully,

J
