Asbestos found at Oratia District School
Kia ora neighbours, asbestos has been found in the grounds of Oratia District School, and almost a year later, it is yet to be removed.
The asbestos was detected, along with concentrations of lead, mercury and arsenic, in soil at the school more than eight months ago.
Since August 2022, orange safety mesh has been placed around part of the school field to keep students away from the contaminated zone.
Leo Foley, who has two children at the school, and was on the board of trustees in 2022, said he is increasingly worried the issue hasn’t been fixed.
“The area has been cordoned off, but I’ve witnessed multiple children playing there as it’s very easy to get around.”

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.
