North East Rangiora Water Supply Main project 🚧
Working is progressing well on the third stage and we expect to complete this stage within the next three weeks.
We're also expecting to reopen the Good Street Roundabout in three directions from the end of next week (weather depending).
The Ashley Street shops including Caroline Eve, Stans 7 Day Pharmacy, Rangiora and Coffee Worx Cafe Roastery Rangiora remain open for business. Access is still open on Ashley Street and Blackett Street.
New World Rangiora is still accessible from Good Street via Blake Street and off Ashley Street.
Thanks to the businesses for their understanding and cooperation during these essential works.
One final reminder that our contractor OnGrade is completing these works as quickly and safely as possible - please be kind and patient if you're travelling through the area - our roading staff are just doing their job. Thank you!

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
