Proposed deletion of Don Croot Street


Hi there, I removed the proposed deletion because Don Croot Street is a very unusual street in the context of the suburbs it sits between. It was also named the worst street in Auckland and has a colourful history. My hope is that by starting this page, other people with more information than I have about Don Croot St's past will come forward with more details. The street is an early example of intensive housing in Auckland, but is set between established streets of villas. It may have had a social housing past, and I am hoping that other editors can contribute more info. Don Croot was also a deputy mayor of Mt Albert, and possibly also a sporting figure. I am hoping that other editors will be able to shed more light on this too. Because Don Croot St was established in the late 60s there is also very little information about it online as it's too old to be covered by contemporary accounts online and too new to be covered by other sources such as Papers Past. So without this page there is nowhere for people to find one central source of information about the street.
