Update following strong winds
Kia ora Kāpiti, we hope you're safe and well after that blustery spring night. It's a great reminder to keep your outside bits and pieces secured. This morning our crews are responding to a range of weather-related issues after a busy night.
⚠️Of immediate concern are the six damaged macrocarpa trees at Te Atiawa Park. Several of these large trees were uprooted, an indication of the wind’s strength. Contractors will be working to get these cleared from today. PLEASE keep clear of fallen or damaged trees, they are NOT SAFE to be on or around‼️
Our teams are also out assessing our other parks and reserves today – there's a bit of debris scattered around different parts of Kāpiti. We’ll be getting that cleaned up as soon as possible.
If your property has been damaged by a tree on Council property, or you come across something that needs our attention as a result of the winds, please contact us by...

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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
