Power off to retrieve truck and road closed
Power will be cut for 64 customers in Allandale, near Governors Bay, this afternoon to allow the safe removal of a truck that has gone off a road in the area.
The road will be closed for approx 2 hours while the vehicle is removed with a mobile crane. Motorists who would normally travel via Allandale to Charteris Bay or through to Motukarara or Akaroa will need to use SH 75 as an alternative while the closure is in place to avoid delays.
The power will be switched off later this afternoon for an estimated four to six hours. The outage allows Orion to earth and remove lines that are above the truck. This will allow crane access for the safe removal of the vehicle.
Customers can check if their service is affected, or be updated by checking Orion website’s Power Outages section, or calling the Orion Contact Centre on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898, or checking out Orion's current outages page: www.oriongroup.co.nz...

LIVE Q&A: Financial well-being with Cat Rikihana
Today (Wednesday) we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with Cat Rikihana who is a financial mentor, educator and financial capability practitioner at Financial Freedom Trust in the Manawatū.
Cat Rikihana (Ngai Tahu) like many financial mentors around Aotearoa, works with individuals, groups and whānau to successfully navigate financial stress and hardship. Mentors work alongside whānau to increase confidence and skills in personal money management and advocate with and for clients. Cat enjoys delivering online and face-to-face workshops which provide opportunities to normalise money conversations and encourages people to make time to consider their financial well-being.
Cat is also an independent financial well-being coach, educator and indigenous life coach at Restore Wellness Network. She is a published writer and currently in the process of writing her first non-fiction book: 'A financial self-care guide for women in Aotearoa.'
She'd love to answer any questions you may have around your budgeting and spending habits, strategies for saving, retirement planning and debt. (Don't be shy, but be mindful about what you disclose!)
