Napier Road/Crosses Road Roundabout Construction - Works begin Monday April 11, 2022
Work will begin on the construction of the roundabout at the intersection of Napier Road and Crosses Road on Monday, April 11, 2022. The roundabout - which will reduce congestion and improve travel time and safety - will take approximately five months to complete.
Key Points
- During the construction works, there will be some disruption but the contractor will work closely with businesses and residents to minimise this.
- Road users will experience some delays during the works including lane closures and detours at times but these will be kept to a minimum.
- The only occasion there might be a complete road closure required will be when asphalt sealing and water and pipe works have to be undertaken, however, this will be undertaken during non-peak times.
- Some night work may be undertaken to enable the contractor to complete their works within the specified timeframes.
- Coffee at Crosses Café on the corner of Napier Road and Crosses Road will retain all of its parking spaces, however, the works will involve building a retaining wall separating the café parking from the pavement.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
