Gibbons Street wastewater pipe project
We are moving into the tenth week of the 24 week project to renew the wastewater pipe in Gibbons Street, Upper Hutt.
On 7 May 2019, it is expected that the project will move back to installing the trunk sewer main, from Hall Grove to Bonnie Glen Crescent for the next three weeks.
This means that there will be a full closure to through traffic between the roundabout to Victoria Street of Gibbons Street with a detour via Pine Avenue from 7 May until 30 May 2019. Resident access into the area will be maintained.
All through traffic exiting off SH2 into Gibbons Street will continue to be diverted along the detour route to get back onto Gibbons Street (as pictured).
It is also expected that some properties in Gibbons Street will continue to be affected regarding property access. We will be in touch with those property owners well before this happens.
On-street parking in the area alongside the worksite will be restricted and we ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas. This will help us to get our work done as quickly as possible.
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)

BLACKHAWK CORGI RACES SUNDAY NOV 17
Who is the fastest Corgi in NZ?
This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.
Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.
Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.
The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.
Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
