🚧 Kia ora Kāpiti. Look out for changing traffic conditions this week on Kāpiti Road around the Paraparaumu stormwater upgrade. Our crew will be laying new road surface over the trench covering the new pipeline, before work turns towards the newly cleared corner section.

The direction of traffic travel on Kāpiti Road will then ‘switch’ – with one lane of traffic travelling west towards the beach between Amohia Street and Rimu Road. Rimu Road at the Kāpiti Road intersection will be left turn only (or straight through to Waimarie Ave). The Kāpiti Lights access on Kāpiti Road will be left in, left out only.

Our crew continues to make excellent progress installing the new stormwater pipeline, and we expect to be off Kāpiti Road before Christmas. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we upgrade our infrastructure to reduce flooding and prepare for weather changes in the future.

We’re looking for the nicest neighbours in town, and Pam Driver of Burswood has shared her lovely neighbours, David and Lara Hurst, saying they “are just wonderful”.

This year, Pam had a missing cat, which was quite out of character. Driver let the Hursts know, and they joined the search, successfully locating him in the gap between the ceiling and roof of their neighbour’s house.

Pam said “They rescued him and brought him home to me... complete with some scratches! I hate to think what would have happened had he not been found”.

Pam nominated the Hursts to let them know she is thankful for them: “It’s so good to know I have such caring neighbours who have my back. Thank you neighbours!”

Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all (plus there are prizes to be won!).
