Roading change to Rangiora Ave
WCC consultation process for Plan 45 is very concerning for both Sovereign Point and Rangiora Avenue owners. Submissions close 15 December
Essentially, as part of LGWM - Council are proposing to put up a median strip along the length of the Hutt Road to create new bus lanes on either side of the road prohibiting traffic from turning right to the City at the bottom of our street and forcing -
1. All Sovereign and Rangiora traffic to turn left, drive back towards Johnsonville and then execute a tricky U - turn in to what will now be one lane of condensed car traffic and
2. Forcing all traffic from Ngaranga Gorge coming down the Hutt Road into one lane and similarly forcing Onslow Road traffic to merge in the condensed one lane and also for traffic at the bottom of Kaiwharawhara Road.
If you feel strongly on the issue - why don't you -
Contact your local Councillor - Dianne Calvert

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
