Unsecured recycling bins AGAIN

Wendy from Grenada Village

When are people going to start using common sense and secure the lids of their recycling bins in these horrendously windy conditions that Wellington is known for.

One of the repeat offenders has just scattered their recycling through everyone's front yard and garden in Maraval Crescent and Guadeloupe Crescent, Grenada Village. The worst thing is they never come and retrieve their garbage or clear the street or gutters. . I'm seriously thinking of retrieving what is in my garden and depositing it over their front fence. It does, after all, belong to them and should take pride of place on their property - not mine.

We're about to start upgrading the wastewater network at the corner of Victoria and Dixon Streets in Wellington's CBD.

Work will begin on Monday next week (11.6.18) and is expected to take six months to complete.

The project includes the construction of a new underground pump station at Volunteer Corner and an upgrade of the pipes beneath Dixon Street that connect to the wastewater mains on Willis Street.

The new infrastructure will help to relieve the pressure on the city’s other pump stations, which importantly will reduce the possibility of overflows into the harbour.

The project team will be employing new real time traffic management tracking, Mooven, to monitor and respond to any impact the works might have on surrounding streets.

For more information, and updates about the project, check out the project page on our website: wellingtonwater.co.nz...

June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month. This year we’re raising awareness that bowel cancer can strike at any age.

The incidence of bowel cancer in younger adults is rising in New Zealand. 10% of bowel cancer patients are under 50 – that’s more than 300 a year. Each year about 3,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with the disease and more than 1,200 will die. That’s as many as breast and prostate cancer combined.
