Major delays in western and northern suburbs following Ngauranga slip

Wellington City Council is warning that extensive traffic delays are occurring in the Ngaio, Khandallah, Johnsonville and at Tawa as traffic is diverted away from the Ngauranga Gorge following the landslide early this afternoon.

Motorists are advised to expect slow journeys especially during rush hour – and delay their journeys home or avoid travel if possible. The Council aims to get contractors to do ‘point duty’ at several roundabouts along the ‘back route’ between Ngaio Gorge and Middleton Road between Johnsonville and Tawa.

Traffic is reportedly bumper-to-bumper on Middleton Road in the Churton Park area as at 2pm.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.

Jeanette from Tawa

I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
