Roads remaining closed after storm
The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has issued warnings to drivers travelling along state highways 2 and 58.
Block Rd, which runs beside State Highway 2 at Melling, has been closed due to flooding. Grays Rd, which connects to State Highway 1 in Plimmerton, has also been closed due to flooding. Motorists have been told to take the highway as an alternative route.
Road repairs have slowed traffic down to one lane and traffic management is in place along SH58, near the Spinnaker Dr intersection in Porirua. Motorists should expect minor delays.

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.
