Chipseal bleeding
Kia ora Kāpiti…how hot was it yesterday? ☀️
Unfortunately, some of the roads we chipsealed last season are not doing so well in the heat and things are a bit sticky. We’ve received a few reports of chipseal bleeding on Ōtaki Gorge Road, Hautere Cross Road, and Old Hautere Road. We are in conversations with our contractors about what we can do to remedy the situation but for now, if you are moving through these areas, please take extra care.
Our team is out and about inspecting our local road network but we can’t be everywhere all of the time so if you happen to come across an area that needs our attention give us a call on 0800 486 486.

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)
