Gibbons Street wastewater pipe project
We are moving into the second week of the 24 week project to renew the wastewater pipe in Gibbons Street, Upper Hutt.
On 18 March 2019, the Gibbons Street roundabout will continue to be partially closed. This means that traffic heading to SH2 will be diverted via Victoria Street and Pine Avenue, around the north and east side of the roundabout.
All traffic exiting off SH2 into Gibbons Street will be diverted at the roundabout to left-turn only into Riverbank Street and back to Gibbons Street via Pine Avenue and either Victoria Street or McParland Street.
It is also expected that in a couple of weeks some properties in Gibbons Street will be affected regarding property access. We will be in touch with those property owners well before this happens.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
