Installing a section of water main onto Te Mata Rd will start overnight on Wednesday, 7pm to 10pm.
During that time there will be short periods (about 30 minutes) when there will be no access from Te Mata Rd onto northern side roads between Carl Ave and Guthrie Rd. After 10pm there will be no right turns available on the stretch of road where the pipe is laying.
Drivers will need to turn left and go around a roundabout in order to travel right.
On Thursday, as work progresses on drawing the pipe into the pre-drilled hole below the surface, entry to the side roads and driveways will clear.
We apologise for the inconvenience, however it is the only way in which to install this critical pipe work. Contractors and Council are working as hard as possible to keep disruption to traffic to a minimum. Please share this message with your friends and neighbours who are likely to be in the area at the above times.

I think there was another man as well but I've forgotten who. Does anyone know whether he/they are still in business in Hawkes … View moreSome years ago, maybe as many as 15, I went to an address in Avenue Rd. There was a house with a workshop behind. A man made me a lovely rimu side table but he later. I think there was another man as well but I've forgotten who. Does anyone know whether he/they are still in business in Hawkes Bay? Beautiful craftsmanship. Would be interested to know if still around. Thank you.

Home handy-person?

Naomi from Taradale

Hello does anyone know someone who has the skills and time to replace a swimming pool deck? Ours has lots of rotten bits of wood but we're thinking it might be better to replace the whole lot. Before Christmas would be ideal.
