Recently fixed
- Tagging on substation
Tagging on Substation on Camperdown rd at intersection of Camperdown rd and Darlington rd. Mirimar 6022
Old fixed
- Street light outThe light on pole #710651 on Jubilee Road opposite Amritsar Street went out at about 6.10am this morning (other lights in the street were still on).
- Car abandoned for 6 months, now missing wheelsThis car has not moved in 6 months. It does not have any plates and recently has had its window smashed and 2 tyres stolen. In the last week, even with the broken window and missing wheels the parking warden thought only to put a sticker on the windscreen to tell the owner there were no plates on the car.
- Street Lights are out
The street lights on Edgeware Rd have been out for some time, for at least a month. - Vehicle on road reserve stripped of plates and wheelsA car has recently appeared on the road reserve across the street, it has no registration plates and the tyres have been removed.
- Blue Ford ?Telstar? stripped of plates, abandonedVehicle had electrical fire 3 weeks ago, owners appear to have rolled down road, now has had plates and ID stripped off and abandoned at roadside.
- Rubbished Dumped in Allenby Tce walkwayMore rubbished dumped today - happens every almost every Rubbish Day during university term
- Sunken Water Toby CoverMy wife broke her ankle approx four weeks ago after tripping and twisting her ankle on a sunken Water toby cover on footpath outside 153 Nevay Road, Karaka Bays Wellington 6022. It has sunk approx 1.5cm creating a trip hazard.
- Request for signageLots of rubbish being dumped at road. Would like to request signage re fines for dumping rubbish.
- Flax and leaves on pavement on Old Bullock RdLarge amounts of dead flax leaves and assorted other debris has covered this path, making it very slippery.
- Dangerous RH turnTurning right into Khouri Ave from Makara Rd is very dangerous as the turn is on a blind corner where it is difficult to see oncoming traffic. Problem could be solved by installing a convex mirror on intersection corner so turning motorists have a chance to monitor traffic flow
- Street Light Bulb is flickering on and off.The light bulb in the street lamp appears to be at the end of it's life and is flicking on and off a few times every minute.
- Water running (broken pipe?)Water is running down the northern side of the Bridle Track (the accessway between Nicholson Road, Khandallah, & the Kaiwharawhara settlement. There is no obvious source so I presume an underground pipe is broken. The water is spreading across the path. The water begins above power pole 39336.
- Dangerous grateThere is a storm drain just before the lights which is the perfect size for a bicycle wheel. I know - it's taken me out twice now. I will be more careful in future but it would be nice to have smaller grating if any upgrades are due.
- Extremely poor intersection visibilityRight hand turn out of Connaught Terrace into Washington Ave is a guess and dash event. There is absolutely no visibility of traffic continuing up Washington ave when sitting at T intersection
- Unneccessary traffic island creates pinch point when drivers overtake cyclistsThis road is generally good for cycling as it is wide with a painted median. But there is a traffic island in the middle of a long straight section. As far as I can tell the traffic island serves no purpose other that creating an unnecessary pinch point where drivers overtaking cyclists are unable to give the cyclist adequate room. Considerate drivers slow down and wait until they can pass safely but not all drivers are considerate :)

- Street sign has fallen overSign with street name has either fallen over or been damaged and is now lying on ground. Needs to be re-erected. Sign in otherwise ok condition.
- Linden StationIn the path from the Linden Station to Linden Avenue there are at least two foot sized potholes to trip pedestirans up. Also on the platform itself there are lumps of concrete where very rough repair s have been made, which can catch pedestrians out (esp in tghe dark)
- Linden StationAs a person who is visually impaired, I find the level of platform lighti8ng at Linden Station, North end, quite inadequate. It is especially poor along the path from the station to Linden Avenue. I find walking down the path at night, with a crowd just off a train, as a stressful experience, being unable to clearly see where other people are about me. The lightring that is at the station there seems quite antiquated, casting pools of light, rather than modern lamps which are set higher and cast a more penetrating light (eg. sodium vapour lights). Could the end posts of the station sign in the middle of the platforms be painted with some flourescent paint so that it will better stand out in the dark - I have often almost walked into it. Currently they ar black or dark blue.
- 2 sets of traffic lights on Victoria St not in sync, accident waiting to happenHey there, I believe it is vitally important that the traffic lights on the 2 intersections of Abel Smith / Victoria and Karo Dr / Victoria are in sync. They don't always appear to be. I have observed people being given a green light at the first intersection heading up Victoria St (Abel Smith & Victoria) and then subsequently driven straight through a red light at the next one (Karo Dr & Victoria). This is hugely dangerous. As these lights are placed so bizarrely close together it's very easy to understand how people can see the green of one set of lights and miss the red of the other. Simply bring these 100% in sync and avoid the problem.
- Slippery pavementThere are 2 or 3 spots here between Thorby St steps and the crossing, that are slippery and dangerous due to a constant flow of muddy water leaking from the hill. Have slipped more than once and its a narrow path/ street - recipe for an accident. There needs to be some drainage at these spots. Please :)
- Street lights not workingThe street lights on Hanson st (between John & Hall streets) have not been working for the past week.
- Tagging on substationThere is tagging on what I believe is an electrical substation opposite number 2 Fortification Rd
- pothole Cockayne Rd intersection with Clutha AveMajor pothole in left hand lane as approach intersection from Nairnville Park, on left hand wheel track.
- Unnotified Water OutageWater supply has ceased without warning, presumably due to the Works being undertaken on the Manners Street bus bypass. This has lead to non-fuctional sanitation in nearby buildings.
New issues
- Walk through to Rochester St darkThere are two street lights on the walk through between Pembroke Road and Rochester Street which are both burned out. This makes this walk through very dark as people are going home after work from the bus stop. The steps become quite trecheous when you can not see anything. Replacing these lights would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
- Evans Bay Pde Road ClosuresPlease stop closing Evans Bay Parade for multiple sports events throughout the year. The number seems to be rapidly increasing, and it is incredibly annoying, disruptive, and unfair for residents to be trapped in one's home for half a weekend day 4-6 times each spring/summer/autumn.
- Telephone Line anchor on lamp post detachedThe anchor for the telephone line for 32 Hollies Crescent, Johnsonville 6037 has become detached from the street Lamppost at the top of the shared driveway, resulting in the telephone line sagging down to low levels - Health & Safety issue - this sagging line can now be snagged by gas or rubbish service trucks that come up the driveway. Please FIX ASAP. Thank you.
- Water Leaking out from groundHave noticed wet stains/tell-tale marks of water leaking from the ground just off the road(Hollies Crescent) whenever I drove by that spot - suspect leaking from mains water supply.
- Water leaking from hydrant on the roadOpposite from 20 Ruskin road, on the left hand side of the road, nearest to the water tanks, water is leaking from the water-hydrant thing on the road. It might not be relevant but last week there was a fire truck parked near it.
- Street lights are outStreet lights are out the entire length of Espin Crescent and have been for the last two weeks. As houses are above or below the road it is very dark and very dangerous.
- Toby coversAfter recent resealing of Nevay Rd two toby covers were not replaced outside 149 Nevay Rd
- street lights outLights are out in the southern end of View Road on the road up to the reserve and along the Houghton Bay side of Hungerford Road
- Street light outThe street light had been out for a couple of week now. With winter coming, it's very dark & cars will not be able to see people walking to their house.
- Lots of water leaking out from ground and wasting into street stormwater drainSeems like near toby - wtaer coming out from ground in significant volume and flowing very quickly down strret kerb side into stormwater drain.
- Exposed cableson the grass just above the footpath bewteen 1 and 3 Fitzpatrick street, Newlands, the gray cover (a cylinder shape) has come off and there are exposed cables.
- Slippery pathwayThe stretch of pathway on Old Bullock Rd between Raroa and Mt Pleasant Rds needs to be waterblasted, as it has a thick layer of leaves completely covering the surface, which gets quite slippery in wet weather.
- Street lights out Rochester Street WiltonNo street lights in the street are working. Though all streets close by have street lighting.
- Bulb DeadStreet light bulb between numbers 7 and 9 Kingsbridge Place, Newlands 6037 has been flickering for 2 years and has now peacefully passed away.
Older issues
- Street lights Pembroke Road pathway to Rochester StreetThe three street lights that light the pathway/steps between Pembroke Road to Rochester Street are all out.
- Street light outThe one and only street light in Ranikhet Way is out...wondering if this can be fixed soon?
- street lights out againStreet lights out near cnr Cecil road and rangimarie way
- Street light not workingI live down a right of way. For the last two nights the street light outside my house (on the right of way) has not been working. My husband tells me that when he drove down Simla Cres about 9.45 pm on Monday Feb 27 none of the lights in the street were working.
- City Council's Street Light on top of shared drive not workingThe City Council street light at top of shared drive serving 22, 24, 26, 28 & 32 Hollies Crescent, Johnsonville 6037 have not been working for about a week now. It also appears that whenever the light is supposed to be working, some interference from its sodium lamp stricking mechanism has been affecting the neighbourhood's UHF Freeview reception, driving us into frustration, not to mention a Health and Safety concern as there is an elderly lady living in 22 Hollies Crescent. A picture of this street lamp is enclosed. Thanks for your prompt attention and action.
- Another Nicholson Road light outThe light on pole 701548 in Nicholson Road, Khandallah (just uphill from #73) is out. Other lights in the street (apart from the one I reported yesterday!) are on.
- Street light outThe light on pole 711752 (uphill from #85 Nicholson Road) went out at about 6.20 this morning (other lights in the street still on). [Please note this is a different light to the one I reported yesterday just around the corner]
- No street sign for Cresswell placeWe have no street sign indicating Cresswell place.
- 'No Exit' sign requiredAt the intersection of Waverton Tce and Erlestoke Crescent, a 'No Exit' sign is needed for cars turning left as dozens of cars (including learner drivers) are coming down to the private shared driveway at the end of the street every day, thinking it rejoins the main streets.
- bushes pushing over green electricon the right side of 21 chapman streets driveway bushes are pushing over a stand up possible electric (but might be water) thing.
- Water is leaking againwater has started leaking from the bank and trees and onto the footpath opposite 69 chapman street again.
- leaking waterwater is leaking from a square water cover on the grass outside number 8 rice cresent
- Slippery pathwayOn the stretch of Old Bullock Rd between Raroa Rd and Mt Pleasant Rd, there is a significant amount of plant detritus that makes the path extremely slippery and treacherous in the rain. It needs a waterblasting or a shovel to make it passable again. Thanks.
- Leaking tobyThe toby outside 38 Webb street is leaking and the tap and meter have been jammed too close to the plastic casing so that turning the tap on or off is not possible.
- Leaking tobyThe toby outside 38 Webb street is leaking and the tap and meter have been jammed too close to the plastic casing so that turning the tap on or off is not possible.
- clear pavement and drain on walkwayThere is a walkway under the road at 41 to 31 sutherland ROAD outside residences homes. This needs clearing of leaves and debris at present.
- Water outage for past two hoursOur water supply has been cut, where can we find information about whats happening?
- Broken glass and flithy bus stopGlass Bus stop #4412 has two broken panes of glass, rubber stripes from the glass hanging down and it needs a really good clean. Bus stop # 4414 another glass bus stop in Waru St also really dirty. They use to be looked after but not anymore sadly.
- Numerous street lights outThere is a long stretch of road with no lights, this is an area with no street houses so very dark.
- Dangerous LH Turn off Makara Rd into Terawhiti TceTurning left from Makara Rd into Terawhiti Tce is very dangerous as the turn is on a blind corner where it is difficult to see oncoming traffic. Problem could be solved by installing a convex mirror on the corner so turning motorists have a chance to monitor traffic coming down the hill when entering or leaving the street. Additionally it is dangerous for children living in Terawhiti Tce to safely cross the road as they walk to and from school and the park etc. There have a been a few near misses. Thanks very much Catriona
- Need change of bulb in street lampThe street light attached the power pole between nos 12 and 14 Terawhiti has been out of order for some time. Can you please come and replace the bulb? Thanks very much Sandra Fuller 11 Terawhiti Tce. Karori
- Street lights not workingTwo street lights at this location are not working and have not been working for at least 4weeks. This poses quite a hazard as the area they should be lighting is a corner with concealed driveways and a bus stop. Appreciate if this could be addressed as soon as practicable.
- Street Lights OutEntire string of street lights from Queens Drive to Onepu Rd is out.
- Many Street Lights Outbetween Miramar Cutting and the Mt Victoria Tunnel I counted at least 13 street lights out. They are sporadically spaced so probably not a fuse. Also at least a couple are out on the Basin Reserve.
- Trees blocking street lightsMany street lights (of the ones that work) along Akaroa Dr are shrouded by trees - some areas lack any form of street lighting and are completely in the dark for 30-40metres stretches
- No sign at split in streetDominica Crescent splits at the end of the street, there is no sign that shows both cul-de-sacs are Dominica Crescent. The left hand fork looks like a new street to people not familiar with the ares and it can be very difficult to have courier items delivered. A sign at the junction showing that both arms of the street are Dominica (perhaps including the street numbers) would be very helpful.
- Street Light BrokenStreet light on the corner of Ahuriri St and Kekerenga st is flashing on/off during windy nights.
- Street lightingI am a visually impaired person, so I have to walk the streets to get around. From my perspective, the light on the corner of Mahoe St and Raroa Terrace needs to be moved to the diagonally opposite corner. This will result in it providing better lighting for the actual crossing points of the corner. In a similar vein, there is no lighting at the corner of Mahoe St and Collins Ave. There are lights either side of the corner, but none provide adequate lighting of the corner itself. Could the light to the west of the corner, partly hidden by trees, be moved up to the corner. That would certainly make it safer for me, instead of having to tentatively feel my way into Mahoe St.
- Street light not workingStreet light is not working outside this address.
- Constant water leaking from bushes on bankEvery day there is water coming out the trees and bushes on the bank and leaking across the footpath and this only happens at one section of the footpath.
- Do not enter signIt would be nice to have the 'do not enter' or 'one way street' sign repositioned at the intersection of Cambridge Tce and Vivian St. Motorists have no indication that they cannot turn left onto Vivian from Cambridge until they've already steered into oncoming traffic. For what it's worth, there is a sign there, but it's only visible from Pirie St and cannot be seen unless you've already turned (ie, too late)
- Road MirrorTurning out of Central Terrace is very dangerous as there is no way to see on coming traffic from Glasgow Street. It would be a lot safer if a mirror could be put up. Thanks
- Sensors don't pick up bikesWhen travelling East on Wellington Rd and wanting to turn right into Bay Road, my bicycle doesn't activate the traffic light sensors and so they never go green if there are no cars waiting.
- Broken glassBlocking the line that cyclists take going up the hill
- Toby brokenThe toby handle is broken at 120 Apu rd. Its not leaking, but we can't turn the water off!
- Abandoned Red Ford Fairmont - no platesPlease remove the Red Ford Fairmont that has been parked on roadside outside 26A/28 Dominion Park St for over a year. It is now up on blocks and has no plates. It makes the street look unsightly and vehicles are forced to take bend wider than nessecary.
- Poor visibility for road usersPulling out of Durham Street onto Durham Cres/bottom part of Durham St (the hairpin corner)....You can't see traffic coming up hill until you have pulled right out and into the way of any traffic.
- Street lights not workingStreet lights not working, 2nd night in a row.
- Haven't finished reseal of roadAbout 6 months ago work started on the reseal of Jubilee Road. A portion of the road has been resealed and about a month later road markings appeared. The rest of the road has been prepared to be resealed. ie: the road has been partially torn up in patches, existing seal in patches has been removed. Signage was left warning of the work however, over the months the signage has slowly disappeared. When will this job be completed - its a shambles.
- Broken Street LightStreet light on the corner of Ahuriri St and Kekerenga st is flickering and sometimes appears to shut off before restarting a few minutes later.
- Tagging on Wall at Mils Rd Mornington Rd IntersectionTagging on Wall at Mils Rd Mornington Rd Intersection
- Tagging on Garage Roller DoorTagging on Garage Roller Door on Mills Road
- Street light bulb blownThe bulb on the street light opposite 80 Totara Road is blown. This was flickering and was fixed but now does not work
- No Street lights at northern end of Eden streetAt least 2 Street lights at northern end of Eden street are not working!
- a path from hellplease take a look at this and let us know if is repairable
- Request for streetlightingHaving problems with hoodies and boy racers dumping rubbish, playing loud music late at night and generally conducting antisocial behavior. Would like a streetlight put in to deter them parking up here.
- Landslide on Old Bullock Rd stepsDebris from a landslide that happened in late October last year is still covering the steps between Raroa Rd and Holloway Rd. This could lead to somebody breaking an ankle or worse, if it's not fixed.
- Street light not workingFor about 5 months, the street light at the bottom of Monteith Grove is not working. On some occasions it turns on for a few seconds then dims and turns off again.
- Heavy Tagging along StreetMultiple tagging all along Ebor Street at each business location. This issue has been previously reported. A new spate of tagging. Only one of ten images attached
- Flickering street lightThe street light outside 216 The Terrace is flickering off and on, and is disturbing at night. It also causes radio interference.
- Poor lane markings at nightThere are no cats eyes or other low light markings on the lanes approaching the intersection. At night, especially when the road is wet, the lanes are very difficult or impossible to see.
- redundant street lightI wrote to WCC on 9 September 2010 to request the removal of a street light from outside my house, but still have not received a response. The street light located outside 200 Oriental Parade was installed a few years ago as part of an attempt to deter so-called boy racers and other late-night partying. Since the liquor ban went into effect, we have experienced far fewer problems of this kind. The street lamp does not work and I have never seen it switched on and functioning. There is no need to light that part of the street so we would like it removed.
