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 banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.
