CITIZENS ADVICE COMMUNITY DIRECTORY

Sue from Waikanae

Hi everyone!
This is for all of you hardworking members of the myriad community groups we have in Kapiti. A heartfelt THANK YOU for everything you do....

AND a request from our Paraparaumu and Otaki Citizens Advice Bureaux volunteers for you to check your listing on our cab.org.nz database and please let us know if anything is inaccurate and needs amending. CLICK ON THE COMMUNITY DIRECTORY AND SELECT WELLINGTON AND KAPITI.
We get so many people ringing us for help (particularly because people find the local phone directory so difficult to use now) and would like our information on all of your community groups to be as up-to-date as possible.

So please email kapiti@cab.org.nz or otaki@cab.org.nz with any amendments (phone numbers, emails, description of services etc) and we'll get them done as quickly as possible!

Thank you so much 😊😊😊 See less

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
