More than 5000 people visited the Aston Norwood Cafe & Function Centre’s Japanese-inspired garden last weekend causing chaos along the adjacent State Highway 2 in Upper Hutt.
Aston Norwood owner Mark Rammell said the volume of traffic outside his business caused gridlocks throughout the weekend. Punters began parking along the margins of the roadway up to 500 metres away after the facility’s 270 carparks filled up.
NZTA is putting in extra parking and road markings to deal with the influx.

That was the message to councillors on Tuesday during the first day of public submissions on the future of Wellington’s Central Library.
In June, prior to public consultation, councillors voted 14-1 indicating their preference was to strengthen and upgrade the earthquake-prone building, rather than demolish and rebuild. The $200 million repair option was more expensive than a rebuild, but was preferred because it promised to be open again sooner and would retain heritage elements.
However, there was a strong backlash among some of the public who submitted, many raising concerns over the expense and uncertainty of repair work.

In recent weeks the Wellington City Council has twice filmed a kārearea chomping on a pigeon. A council report notes that kārearea are not the only native bird making a comeback. Tūī, kākā, Kererū, korimako and kākāriki are all doing well.
What birds are you seeing in your garden?
