[Talk-nz] Place names

[Aaron McEwen]

In my opinion the signposts would of been spelled on the signs without the macron due to historic reasons which have no relevance to this discussion now. I would expect as time goes on and damaged/old signs get replaced they will be remade with the offical spelling.
