Ngongotaha Western Road detour delayed

Lynn Benfell from Progress Ngongotaha-Kokiri Ngongotaha Inc.

Progress Ngongotaha Inc has received the following for your information. For further details check online or 0800 number details below. Thank you.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises the planned detour for Ngongotaha bound traffic is delayed until Tuesday 11 May, weather permitting, due to unsuitable weather conditions for sealing the new State Highway 5 slip lane.

Contractors have been working hard to get the slip lane road surface prepared so it could be sealed in time for the detour. The cooler weather has meant it's too damp to proceed and the surface needs to be left over the weekend before being sealed on Monday.

If it's still too damp on Monday, our contractors will lay a temporary seal to allow the detour to go ahead Tuesday and limit any more delays to the programme. If our contractors have to lay a temporary seal, they will go back when the weather is better suited for laying new road surface, possibly October.

In the meantime, our contractors are focused on Tuesday as the 'go live' day for the detour and we apologise for any confusion caused.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
