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: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

63.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
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.
