Please attribute to Superintendent Naila Hassan, Waitematā District Commander:
A Police cordon remains in place at the Fanshawe Street off-ramp and on-ramp.
Protestors moved from Victoria Park to the cordon where they met a visible Police presence.
A majority of this group have now moved away back towards Victoria Park.
A temporary stoppage of all southbound traffic on State Highway 1 was put in place from the Onewa Road off-ramp.
This was in place for a short time to allow additional Police resource to move into the CBD.
We thank motorists for their cooperation with this brief disruption.
There are no further issues at this stage.
ENDS.
