Seaview Road Traffic Management - Barber Grove project

Wellington Water from Wellington Water

Wellington Water acknowledges the Port Road detour at Seaview has caused significant delays. We very much appreciate your patience while these critical works are underway.

The traffic management in place is intended to ensure the necessary works are done as quickly and safely as possible. We did investigate other options to avoid a one-way system on Seaview Road - but none were suitable or practical given the scope of works and electricity cables in the immediate area.

This current wastewater infrastructure which serves almost the entire Hutt Valley is vulnerable in the event of flooding or a large earthquake, and we just want to get on with renewing it, so the community is not subject to these risks and has a modern and resilient wastewater network.

The reality is we have two major arterial routes converging at the Seaview roundabout at peak times, and unfortunately, slow-moving traffic is unavoidable.

We now have additional signage in place along the route and will keep monitoring the traffic situation closely and make changes where we can.

Our crew is committed to completing the works quickly and safely and we’ll keep you informed as progress is made.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
