Seaview Road Fire

Fire and Emergency New Zealand - Lower Hutt

Hi Neighbours,
Thanks for your patience with our closure of Seaview Road, we're pleased to say that we have now competely finished operations at the site, and Seaview Road is now open again to traffic.
Thanks are also due to the other agencies that provided assistance thoughout the day, and also those businesses that had to close down due to the smoke hazard.  A special thanks must go to the crew from the Salvation Army who turned out hot drinks, burgers, and bars of chocolate throughout most of the afternoon and night, and they only left as the final pack up started.  Your efforts were greatly appreciated.   
For those that are interested, we finally declared the fire out at around 8.30pm this evening, after a great deal of effort by both our own crews and onsite staff to pull the steel mountain down and extinguish all the hotspots within.

Speed limits around NaeNae

Susan from Naenae

Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
