Traffic delays Wednesday and Thursday
Installing a section of water main onto Te Mata Rd will start overnight on Wednesday, 7pm to 10pm.
During that time there will be short periods (about 30 minutes) when there will be no access from Te Mata Rd onto northern side roads between Carl Ave and Guthrie Rd. After 10pm there will be no right turns available on the stretch of road where the pipe is laying.
Drivers will need to turn left and go around a roundabout in order to travel right.
On Thursday, as work progresses on drawing the pipe into the pre-drilled hole below the surface, entry to the side roads and driveways will clear.
We apologise for the inconvenience, however it is the only way in which to install this critical pipe work. Contractors and Council are working as hard as possible to keep disruption to traffic to a minimum. Please share this message with your friends and neighbours who are likely to be in the area at the above times.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
