Onslow Road Works
Shout out to WCC network people who are doing a great job keeping us updated about the roadworks currently happening on Onslow Road. They are getting this route done so that the road can handle the extra traffic next year when the Ngaio Gorge slip will be worked on.
Here is the latest:
Onslow Road will be open to all traffic by 6pm tonight, Monday 16 December.
Tomorrow, Tuesday 17 December, work will resume from 9am until 9pm. All traffic will be able to use Onslow Road and bus services return to normal. From Homebush Road to Benares Street, through traffic will be detoured. Residents who live on Onslow Road between Homebush Road and Benares Street will have access at all times, but should follow the directions of road crews on site.
This work is weather dependent. If the work is postponed, it will be rescheduled to the next fine day this week.
Tuesday is rubbish collection day for Onslow Road and residents should put their bins out as normal.
“Road crews have worked incredibly hard to get this work done since Friday,” says Wellington City Council Transport and Infrastructure Manager, Siobhan Procter. “We recognise the inconvenience closing the road to through traffic has on the community and we really do appreciate people’s patience and understanding.”
Seeking Summer Pocket Money
Are you planning to go away over the holidays?
After doing really well for the last couple of summers and absolutely loving it, our enthusiastic 13-year-old is once again offering her services for pet and plant care over the coming summer.
Over the last few summers, she has managed to earn enough to buy herself a cake mixer, a Fitbit, roller skates, clothes, an assortment of fun items, endless packets of Mentos, and even funded all her spending money for an overseas trip, with enough left over to last her through the year. 😊 While she isn't sure what next year will bring, she is eager to save up a few dollars to make the most of whatever opportunities come her way.
She's keen to take care of small pets and birds, water pot plants and gardens, walk friendly dogs, and more. She is available immediately and throughout the summer until the end of January. Please consider her if you're planning to be away for a few days or a few weeks.
Rates are negotiable, and references are available from happy customers, several of whom have kept her on for weekend work throughout the year.
As always, she will be fully supervised! 😊 Text me at 0226206258 to arrange an introductory visit. 😊
