It’s time to Kōrero about housing.
Kāpiti is growing and so is the need for housing and greater support services.
Kāpiti Coast District Council is currently asking you to share your housing story and aspirations to help build a strong case for change. We need a stronger information base to support future discussions with Government and help Council, iwi, community organisations and other stakeholders to respond to current and emerging housing and social needs.
Your story counts, take the anonymous survey at haveyoursay.kapiticoast.govt.nz/housing or pick up a copy from your local library or Council service centre. Survey closes 5pm Friday 10 December.
Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
