  Hi There, Last night the fence at 2 Grange Avenue (Corner of Grandview Road) was tagged in red. This is very disappointing for me as the same fence was also tagged in yellow last week.

  A large clump of gorse is growing and flowering on the side of Minogue Drive just past the big Foxbridge sign.
• Blocking footpath

  Regularly two or three cars are parked on the footpath outside 176 Ohaupo Road. This is a shared section of road so bikes pedestrians and people in wheel chairs or mobility scooters need to use this. I am a cyclist and the way these cars are parked I need to go out past the bike lane into the traffic to get past. This is not a one off, it happens regularly after 4:30 pm most evenings.

• Street Light turning on and off

  Hi, the street light to the left of the driveway of 3 Pollock Drive keeps turning on and off. This makes our end of the street very dark. We have also finally worked out why we have interference on our tv which is sometimes so bad that it is not watchable. This happens when the light is off - as soon as it comes back on the tv is fine. If the light could be fixed that would be great thanks!

• Street light not working

  I want to report an issue with street light in Huntington, in Christobel Circle street (the part from Te Manatu Dr to Rewiti Ln, or by numbers 1 - 7). There are a lot of lights there that doesn't work at all, so one part of the street is in the total dark at night. A few families with young children and teens are very concerned about this and afraid for overall safety because of this issue. They will be very grateful if someone could fix this as soon as possible. Thank you very much!

• Street light out

  This was reported to Hamilton CC in November and still not acted on.
• Minogue Dr sign

  The sign for Minogue Dr is on the ground
• Trucks engine brake

  Hi, I wonder if it is at all possible to place a "no engine brake" sign on Cambridge Rd. Now that the truck traffic has increased in our area (due to the Wairere Cobham intersection that is on hold), the noise is very very disturbing. Sometimes my pre-school daughter even burst out in tears from fright. I also just want to thank you for placing a "your speed" sign on Cambridge Rd. Hoping this will improve the speed issues a bit.
• Flax plants too tall

  The flax in the Garnett - Minogue round-about is too high. It is impossible for people crossing the road to see cars turning through the round-about.
• More Like Arthur Pothole Drive

  Several potholes all the way down Arthur Porter Drive. Have been there a while
• KAIMIRO STREET, TE RAPA

  THIRD TIME LUCKY? AGAIN, THERE IS NO WAY CARS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PARK ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD ON KAIMIRO. IT IS NOT WIDE ENOUGH FOR THE TYPES OF TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH. WE HAVE LARGE TRUCKS AND CONTAINER VEHICLES. IT IS RIDICULOUS, YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER EVERY TIME THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT IS THE SAME WITH THE BOULEVARD. WHOEVER IS SAYING THE ROAD IS WIDE ENOUGH HAS NO IDEA I'M SORRY. MAYBE ASK THE PEOPLE THAT USE THESE ROADS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE CONSENSUS WILL AGREE, ITS DANGEROUS HOW IT IS. TODAY A TRUCK GOT STUCK AND BLOCKED THE ROAD FOR OVER AN HOUR. IF THERE IS NO ISSUE, AS YOU SAY THE ROAD IS WIDE ENOUGH, THEN WHY DID THE TRUCK GET STUCK? THEY HAD TO GET SEVERAL PARKED CARDS TO MOVE TO GET IT OUT. IF THE BOULEVARD IS WIDE ENOUGH, WHY IS ATTWOODS MOVING BECAUSE THEY CANT DEAL WITH IT ANYMORE? THIS IS A BIG ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT.
• Overgrown trees - Melville Reserve

  There are a number of trees in the SW corner of this park which have become overgrown. They hang over the boundary fence to the Bader St shops. They block visibility that the shops and also create a dangerous hiding place for undesirables thereby creating a danger to parkers, pedestrians and shoppers. The trees need to be cut back and possibly some removed.
• Street Light not working

  Hi HCC, since last two - three days I noticed that street lights of Earlswood Avenue is not working. Pl resolve this problem ASAP.

• The Road is Breaking apart

  Hey there live down Pohutukawa Drive and down our little road (which is off the main street but still part of Pohutukawa Drive) there are a couple pot holes and at the end the road begun to break apart and is continuing to get worse. Was wondering who we call to get it fixed?
• Street light not working

  Street light not working making it near impossible to see people walking on footpath when backing out of drive way, have had a few near misses. Scared that one evening I may hurt someone.
• Glass bottles and boxes

  Whole corner is littered with rubbish and there is glass on the footpath/road
• Cars parking on yellow lines

  Hi, Over the past few weeks I have noticed more and more cars parking along Clarkin Road, which is yellow lines along the left hand side. It's beginning to get annoying because when we turn out of our lane (which is very busy-10 houses plus builders,)we cannot turn left until the traffic driving on the other side of the road has passed (as we have to go onto the opposite side of the road to pass the vehicles parked on the road.) Also, St Josephs school (and Dio) is located approx. 20 metres down the road, so the road can be very busy at times. In fact, it already is a busy road. The reason I think people are parking on this side of the road is because the yellow lines are super faded in some areas. It would be greatly appreciated if the council could re-paint the yellow lines along the road so people would stop parking there. Thanks.
• Deep and Bad Old pothole Walter street

  Please fix the Pothole in Walter street. I visit my client there. I am on a minimum wage and can't afford to keep redoing my wheel alignment. I'm fed up with it. IT'S BEEN THERE SINCE SEPTEMBER LAST YEAR!
• Street Lighting not working down this lane

  People are using it to leave rubbish as none of the lights are working.
• Missing asphalt on sidewalk

  Outside 43 King St, Frankton. Loose gravel on sidewalk, creates tripping hazard

• Light not working

  Been out for a few days/nights
• Dangerous trees

  There are some, possibly Poplar trees, close to and leaning precariously over Hukanui road, I fear that a strong wind could well tip them over onto the street / footpath.
• Excessive speed and use of engine brakes by trucks

  I live on Forest Lake road towards the bottom of a hill. I have concerns regarding excessive speed by motorists. The speed limit is 50km but quite frequently cars are travelling well above that. Also trucks are using engine brakes when travelling down the hill. The noise is very annoying! It would be great to see a bigger police presence on the road catching these people!
• Footpath lane overgrown

  Hi there, I live on Forest Lake Road. The footpath up the road from me (at approx 41 forest lake road) is overgrown making access difficult. The footpath is a located between a steel road barrier and bushes. Therefore there is no grass verge to walk on to get past the bushes.
• Potholes on The Boulevard

  There are several potholes/cracks all up and down the Boulevard. You can see where several have already been fixed but more keep forming. Also, allowing cars to park on both sides of the road is a joke. I have reported this issue before and I was told the road is wide enough. Come and watch the traffic travel up and down this road for a day and tell me with a straight face the road is wide enough. It is the same with Kaimiro Street. Industrial areas have large trucks passing through daily. When cars and trucks have to pull over to let trucks through, how can the road be wide enough for two trucks to pass?
• Light is out

  Please fix, it's the one in the alleyway between houses 24 & 26, thanks
• Street light not working

  The street light outside 66 Awatere ave isn't working

• Street Light turning on and off

• Cars Parked in Cycle lane

  Residents cars parked in cycle lane early morning and at afternoon rush hour
• Faulty street light

  The Street light along Manuka Street (close to 23 and 25) keeps going off and then comes back on. This issue has happened for the last few years
• YELLOW LINES

  The cars parking on both sides of the Boulevard and too close to the intersections is a real problem. Large trucks barely have any room and it is impossible to pull of of the adjoining roads because the cars block your view. Parking needs to be restricted to one side of the road only. Don't wait until someone has a crash to do anything about it please!
• Road/ Carparks

  Recently white parking lines were painted along both sides of The Boulevard, this has caused major issues as this street constantly has trucks driving up and down it. When there are cars on both sides of the road there isn't enough room for 2 trucks to drive past each other meaning 1 truck is always forced to stop. Also due to people parking over the white parking lines our trucks quite often get stuck trying to leave our driveway, they don't have enough to room to turn due to cars being parked on both sides of the road and not being in the lines. We have had traffic held up for several minutes as the truck has become stuck because there isn't enough room for them to turn with a trailer on.
• car parts, realty sign, etc

  Where The Link turns into a gravel road, parts of a car body, real estate sign and other things have been dumped by the road side.
• old tires dumped

  At the end of Bourn Brook Ave, where you have to turn right into the road leading to the new High School, a number of old tires have been dumped in the last few weeks.
• bags, furniture, tires, etc dumped

  the entrance to the paddock, across the road from the farm gate, on the side of the maize field, rubbish has been dumped over the last few months. Looks like concrete bags, black sacks, decrepit furniture, etc.
• Pothole or divet on railway crossing

  When driving over the railway tracks away from the hospital there is a very uncomfortable hole or divet that is not visable. When hit it really shakes the car and feels like damage has been done to the car. I got a flat tire from hitting it. It is in the normal tire path. So if you can remember you have to swerve to miss it.
• Hazardous footpath

  1) The power company trenched a cable thru the footpath and have not returned to seal it. The trench is rough for kids, prams, scooters etc using the footpath. The sealed footpath needs fixed urgently 2) The grass berm was dug up as well. No one has come back to topsoil and sow grass seed. Weeds are now coming thru and will always be unsightly if not fixed properly
• Street Light not working

  Street light across the road from our house not working. Lighting at this end of the street is already very poor - without this light even worse
• Car Yard parking vehicles for sale on main street

  When leaving Northway St it is impossible to see both double lanes as the Korean Car yard paks large vans and cars on Te Rapa straight. They sometimes put flags on the street as well. They also park cars etc all over footpaths both sides of Northway corner. Te Rapa st should have yellow no parking lines and they should be ticketed for illegal parking on the footpaths. I have spoken to them twice - their comment is unprintable.
• Street lights not working

  Hi HCC, the street lighting on all of Sandowne Close, and the surrounding part of Farringdon Ave next to Sandowne Close is currently not working. On Wednesday 2 Sept digging was started for ultra fast broadband cabling, and I am wondering if perhaps a cable was cut accidentally? I don't know how long the street lights have been out for, but suspect that maybe this may be the reason. It would really be appreciated if it could be checked out ASAP as it is extremely dark. Many thanks, Tania
• Timing of pedestrian crossing Te Rapa Rd and Vardon Rd (lights 4044)

  When crossing Te Rapa Rd from Spotlight to Vardon Rd (on lights 4044) from light 11 to light 9, the green light does not leave enough time for the pedestrian to complete the crossing safely. Twice this week a car turning left from Vardon Rd to Te Rapa Rd has come close to hitting people on the crossing.
• Street Light not working

  Can we have the street light across the road from our house fixed please. Thanks
• Hillcrest High School pedestrian lights

  The lights (lamps nor the flashing orange) showing up the pedestrian crossing were off at 5:40 pm (dusk) when I drove past. A student was walking across wearing dark clothing and was very difficult to see. With onset of winter these lights need to come on way earlier.

• Yellow lines needed to maintain street access

  Tuirangi Street narrows between the roundabout and the Claymore Street end, and has an island dividing the road. When two cars are parked opposite each other there is only room for one car to pass through. However when these cars also park between the first houses' driveway and the roundabout, it becomes difficult, sometimes impossible to enter Tuirangi street (see photos). Today the car in the photo has been parked here all day. A small car can get through but requires careful steering; a large car has its wheels up against or on the island curb. It is about to become worse, as many people park here when using Discovery Park during winter sports. Often there are two cars parked between the first driveways and the roundabout (on both sides), so we cannot enter the street without driving over the island, or driving illegally on the wrong side if it is free. On some occasions we have to find a park for our cars and walk home. Could you please put yellow line markers between the first driveways and the roundabout to stop people parking here. Thank you.
