Rising river level forces path closures

6 September 2017

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Hamilton City Council staff have closed two low-lying river paths due to the rising water level in the Waikato River.

Paths at Ann St and Fairfield Esplanade are both closed, and path users are urged to avoid these areas for their own safety.

Detours are via adjacent streets – Awatere Ave/Beerescourt Rd for Ann St, and River Rd for Fairfield Esplanade.

The river level and paths will be monitored, and the paths will be reopened once the water level has dropped.

Path users are asked to be cautious and sensible on all paths in coming days, with heavy rain forecast and some paths and boardwalks likely to be slippery.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
