For State Highway 2 traffic, the main change you’ll notice is there will be no more traffic signals. If you’re wanting to get onto or off State Highway 58, you’ll use the new elevated roundabout. There will be plenty of signage to guide you, and a lower speed limit in place to allow everyone to get used to the new layout.
For more information, plus a diagram and quick animation guide, please click here or call the project team on 0800 007 425.

As part of routine water testing carried out on water from the Waterloo wellfield (Lower Hutt), a sample from a bore in the wellfield has returned a positive e-coli result.
It is important to note that this test is an indicator test and further testing is required to confirm any contamination. While this further testing is being carried out, chlorine will be added to the water supply for Lower Hutt as a precautionary measure. We’ll continue to chlorinate the water until we have clearance from Regional Public Health.
Other water quality tests taken at the same time have returned negative results.
The water already in pipes is safe to drink and there is no need to boil water.
The public artesian wells at Buick Street in Petone, and Dowse Square in central Lower Hutt remain open as a source of unchlorinated drinking water.
We’ll be carrying out tests on multiple samples at other reservoirs and points in the water network, and provide updates here as soon as those results come in (late tomorrow).
We've also got information on our website about this: huttcity.govt.nz

As the first term ends and as the guardian to a Primary School Child and Kindergarten child, it is still to my horror that there are no Judder Bars at either entrance to Trentham Primary School nor Cottle Kindy.

Even though the law says there is a 40 km limit, it just leaves me shocked that come 08:30 - 09:15 & 14:30 - 15:30 when kids are being dropped off or picked.
The amount of moron drivers that drive through the narrow streets at speed without any concern for kids crossing the road is unbelievable. I know this will sound sexist but about 75% of said drivers appear to me as young women.
Where are the Police when you need them? I ask the council to now install kidder bars 25 meters apart at all the entrances. At Stephens Street, Thackeray Street, Sheridan Crescent.
Whilst at it, can you put judder bars ever 50 meters all around Thackeray Street to slow the not racers and Boy and down? Before someone including a child gets killed by one of these morons?
