It might be the traditional Māori name for the location but it's too long and impractical, say residents of a new Whakatāne subdivision.

I guess they didn’t want people to end up calling it P Road

      Not really, there’s been a push for people to use its full name and last time I was in Auckland everyone I spoke to did.

        The fact that people need a “push” to not shorten the name doesn’t help your argument much.
