Complaints the children's burial site at Papakura Cemetery has been desecrated
25 November 2019
A Papakura resident says she visited the baby section at the weekend, and found damaged mementos, shredded flowers and broken crosses strewn across the grass.
She believes the Council's maintenance crew left the mess - because the grass was freshly mown and she found shredded flowers under grass clippings.
Auckland Council is investigating, but believes the damage was caused by vandals.
Its Community Facilities team says its investigation will also include checking the timing of maintenance by checking contractors' GPS records.
