Hutt City Council

This is a summary of all issues for one Council. You can go back and show all jurisdictions.

Recently fixed

  • No issues.

Old fixed

  • Overgrown plants1 update
    Western Hutt Rd merge with Petone overbridge traffic - just before the cyclist crossing - overgrown weeds (blackberry?) are hitting cyclists as they ride by. It's a narrow corner and there's no room for cyclists to safely to around the weeds.

New issues

  • Food rubbish on Jackson Street
    Rubbish has been put out prematurely on Jackson Street (outside Curry Heaven) and dogs have got into the bags. There is curry and rice all around the area.
  • Stormwater grate broken - outside No. 5
    On the berm vehicle crossover outside number 5 the storwater grate has broken. The larger section has fallen down into the stormwater drain leveling 3/4 of the hole uncovered. I notice the hole is approx a metre or so deep and an adult foot would easily fit in the hole. The area is used by school children every morning and afternoon during the term to go to and from Hutt Central School. The whole needs to be covered.

Older issues

  • Overhanging branches
    In the alleyway, alongside Waterloo Kindy, (access on the left from Trafalgar Street) towards the school, there are overhanging branches that adults need to duck under when walking towards the school. Could these please be trimmed back.
  • Removal of signs
    Where old signs have been removed from the footpath, their metal bases are still jutting up out of the concrete, a tripping hazard. I think there are 3 of them. These are around the Waterloo School side of the road, between the crossing and the shops. I have seen one mum stumble as she pushed her pram along the street and kicked the metal base, she commented on how she could have broken her toe. Also I have seen school children come out and nearly stubbed their toes and fall off their scooters. Nasty. I haven't checked to see if there are others on the other side of the street too.
  • Dangerous ditch next to Hutt River Cycle path
    There is a dangerous drain ditch right beside the shared use cycle path on the river side of the Lower Hutt Riverbank Car Park. The ditch is very close to the path and not obvious on approach. As this is a narrow path a cyclist could easily ride off or be forced off the cycle path by other cyclists, pedestrians or dogs. Today I witnessed a spectacular non-injury cycle accident when a cyclist strayed slightly off the path straight into the ditch. Fortunately the bike dropped away and the cyclist landed on the ground on the far side of the ditch. This drain ditch needs to be sign posted, covered or fenced off.
  • Broken glass on the cycle path1 update
    there is a lot of broken glass on the cycle path on the western hutt road, so it's very dangerous for the cyclists. And it's getting more every day.
  • Street light broken
    Street light on cnr Rona St/Marama Terrace only works intermittently.
  • Graffiti on coms box
  • Bad look for Naenae1 update
  • Blinking streetlight2 update
  • Street too narrow for parking on both sides
    There should be a yellow no parking line in front of 6 Marama Terrace like it is in the rest of the street. It's too narrow for cars being parked on both sides of the street and still leaving enough room for an ambulance or fire engine.
  • truck tyre on side of road
    On Tuesday (recycling day) I came home to find a truck tyre outside my place at 53 Bristol Square
