Emergency power shutdown for Bethells Beach and surrounding areas
We wanted to let you know about an emergency power outage in the Bethells Beach area, which is required to fix a broken cross arm. Work is scheduled to take place from 12:10pm today and the expected restoration time is 4:30pm.
Roads affected include:
Wairere Rd, Horsman Rd, Jonkers Rd, Mildon Rd, Caton Rd, Mokoroa Valley Rd.
We advise you to please switch off all sensitive electrical equipment for the duration of this shutdown, and for your own safety, to treat all wiring and sockets as live at all times.
Medical dependency? Please call your health provider or 111.
Our apologies for any inconvenience this emergency work may cause you.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
