Roading change to Rangiora Ave
WCC consultation process for Plan 45 is very concerning for both Sovereign Point and Rangiora Avenue owners. Submissions close 15 December
Essentially, as part of LGWM - Council are proposing to put up a median strip along the length of the Hutt Road to create new bus lanes on either side of the road prohibiting traffic from turning right to the City at the bottom of our street and forcing -
1. All Sovereign and Rangiora traffic to turn left, drive back towards Johnsonville and then execute a tricky U - turn in to what will now be one lane of condensed car traffic and
2. Forcing all traffic from Ngaranga Gorge coming down the Hutt Road into one lane and similarly forcing Onslow Road traffic to merge in the condensed one lane and also for traffic at the bottom of Kaiwharawhara Road.
If you feel strongly on the issue - why don't you -
Contact your local Councillor - Dianne Calvert

Secure your homes over summer
Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.
Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”
Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”
If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
