Local Elections 2022 - #CrashCourseInCouncil
Next up in our #CrashCourseInCouncil, we level up on service requests👇
Service requests are when someone in our community asks us to get something done. We manage hundreds of requests a day on all kinds of things. Our teams responded to 13,035 regulatory-related service requests alone in the 2020/21 financial year.☎️📨📱
Some things we can get sorted, like a blocked drain, a building query, graffiti or a pooch on the loose. And some things we can’t – like a plane flying over your house in the afternoon (yes, we really got a request to stop planes flying over someone’s home). ✈️ 🏡

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
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.
