Sutherland Rd residents are fed up with stones and loose tar.
Lisa Blackmore knows more about road tar than a registered nurse rightly should. Foe the last six months she has been complaining about resealing that occurred six months ago.
She received a response from the council’s chief infrastructure officer, Tom Williams, who said Wellington City provided a “much higher level of service” for road resurfacing than the rest of New Zealand, which also meant it cost more.
He believed the correct surface had been put on the road, but there were “issues with the treatment outcome”.
Have you had any problems with your street.

This week we feature a picture and words from Rosa Marie from Stokes Valley.

"A visit to Silverstream yesterday afternoon to see if I could find some kingfishers and I was rewarded by the sight of several of them on powerlines, swooping down to grab tasty morsels, but couldn't get close enough to any of them to get decent shots so these photos are heavily cropped. At one point a kingfisher was sharing his line with a huge group of Starlings! I loved watching the two magpies displaying teamwork when tearing at a clump of grasses! As I walked through St Pats, the sparrows were enjoying a dustbath!"
