During the early September, storm multiple roads were temporarily closed due to large slips or dropouts and Tararua Alliance staff worked through the nights and weekends with a focus on maintaining accessibility by keeping roads open and motorist safety.
A dropout on Mangahei Rd undercut the road and forced the closure of the road for a number of days, with a minor, temporary retreat constructed around the site to enable access, although alternative routes were available while the road was closed.
Also, on Route 52 between Weber and Waione, a large hillside has continually slipped on to the road. Multiple slips occurred over the week, forcing numerous closures of the road, but alternative routes were available while the road was closed.
The good news for the district is that The National Land Transport Programme has now been confirmed by the NZTA, attributing $1.225m to footpath maintenance, renewal and construction, (which includes the renewal of footpaths in Pahiatua as part of the Main Street Upgrade project).

Have you heard this trick before? A handy hack on how to open OXO cubes is causing a stir online, as it seems many of us have been doing it all wrong.
Forget crumbling up the cube after opening the silver foil packaging - it seems that packaging was actually designed to be flattened. To read more click here.
Simply open up the flaps on the side, flatten them out and then crumble the cube inside the package, turning it into a powder that's a heck of a lot easier to add to your dish.
Did you know this handy trick? Have you been opening the cubes the wrong way your whole life like the rest of us? Will this make cooking for your family a little easier? Share your thoughts in the replies below!
