Onslow Road Works
Shout out to WCC network people who are doing a great job keeping us updated about the roadworks currently happening on Onslow Road. They are getting this route done so that the road can handle the extra traffic next year when the Ngaio Gorge slip will be worked on.
Here is the latest:
Onslow Road will be open to all traffic by 6pm tonight, Monday 16 December.
Tomorrow, Tuesday 17 December, work will resume from 9am until 9pm. All traffic will be able to use Onslow Road and bus services return to normal. From Homebush Road to Benares Street, through traffic will be detoured. Residents who live on Onslow Road between Homebush Road and Benares Street will have access at all times, but should follow the directions of road crews on site.
This work is weather dependent. If the work is postponed, it will be rescheduled to the next fine day this week.
Tuesday is rubbish collection day for Onslow Road and residents should put their bins out as normal.
“Road crews have worked incredibly hard to get this work done since Friday,” says Wellington City Council Transport and Infrastructure Manager, Siobhan Procter. “We recognise the inconvenience closing the road to through traffic has on the community and we really do appreciate people’s patience and understanding.”

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
