Gibbons Street wastewater pipe project
We are moving into the sixteenth week of the project to renew the wastewater pipe in Gibbons Street, Upper Hutt.
On 21st June 2019, weather permitting, traffic exiting SH2 will be able to access Gibbons Street straight off the roundabout, but will be detoured left at Victoria Street to Pine Avenue and then right into McParland Street to get back onto Gibbons Street (red arrow).
Traffic from Upper Hutt CBD travelling to SH2 will continue to be detoured right at McParland Street to Pine Avenue and then left into Victoria Street to get back to Gibbons Street and on to SH2 (green arrow). During this time, the worksite will move in stages from south of Victoria Street to north of McParland Street.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15% ... It is complicated
