Road works - Iver Trask Place from 15 January
Kia ora Kāpiti. Our contractors will be working soon on the footpath and kerb and channel by the Amohia stormwater project yard on Iver Trask Place. To allow this work to happen safely, Iver Trask Place will be down to one-way for traffic from Monday 15 January, for up to three weeks.
This means...
🚧 Traffic from Rimu Road can access Iver Trask Place as normal, and exit either back onto Rimu Road or to Ngahina Street and Brett Ambler Way.
🚧 Traffic entering Iver Trask Place from Ngahina Street or Brett Ambler Way will not be able to travel through to Rimu Road.
🚧 During this time if you wish to park right in front of the Paraparaumu Library or Council's Civic Building, please enter from Rimu Road.
Visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz... for more information on the project.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
