I understand that tree roots sometimes deform footpaths and quite correctly, it is a trip hazard that KCDC must address.
The short term fix KCDC employs is to grind the concrete to minimise the tripping hazard.
I have no problems with this option provided they don't come back shortly after and rip up the footpath to replace it after just spending money to grind it.
But what I'm often witnessing are footpaths with the minimal or no damage being replaced.
As an example, the extensive new 100m plus footpath on Queens Road alongside the Victor Wiggery Reserve or virtually the entirety of Eruine Street.
With a 7.8% increase in rates this year perhaps one of our elected counsellors could investigate this issue.
It would be a simple case of obtaining a list of planned work and driving around visually inspecting if the work is critical or could be postponed to a later date.
Alternatively, KCDC could publicly release a regularly updated list of planned work and local residents could make a submission, possible through the Antenno app, if they believe the work is unnecessary.

If your dog's been registered in Kāpiti before, you can do this online. If you're registering a dog for the first time, you’ll need to visit one of our service centres to get started and collect a tag.
If you have an aluminium tag that's becoming difficult to read, bring it into our service centres and we'll swap it for free for a new more durable plastic one. These are made of recycled and recyclable plastic, and have a lifespan of at least five years.

This black and white printer comes complete with installation disc. Was in perfect working order when last used.
FREE to good home.
Large screen (45/50") Veon TV. Works well but one side of screen seems to be a bit darker than the other. Could be an easy fix. FREE to good home.
Elderly but still working like a youngster, the printer comes complete with cartridges and nine spares. The cartridges are still readily available for sale. The printer also scans, faxes and does photocopies. FREE to good home.

When in reality 6 people including a police officer went to work today and now lie injured in hospital. Two more are deceased. His words today are unacceptable to me because they were not words of condolences to the families of the injured and deceased. They were not any acceptance of responsibility for the legislated limitations now placed on the Police, Justice and Corrections that have enabled a known convicted perpetrator of violent crime to be convicted, sentenced and then rock up to work with an electronic bracelet on and with a loaded weapon to mow innocent people down. This makes me mad because we expect protection as a society from violence. It’s time to ask for a lot better than we are getting. I know this isn’t a Kapiti issue, but here is one - Breanna Muriwai is still missing after 11 months. Her family deserve better than to be told by local police to go (put themselves at risk, carry out their own investigation, and come in contact with dangerous killers in the process) to find her body before they will further any investigation. It is not good enough and her grieving family deserve better than this. They deserve a thorough and effective police investigation now. #bringbreannamuriwaihome.
