• Street Lights out

• Cleaning out Culver

  The Culvert has been blocked now for days since the big downpour. The upstream side of the culvert was badly blocked and the council was informed about it many times before it became an issue again on 17 July when we had a high amount of rain. The culvert blocked quickly and caused the creek to overflow the road damaging the tarseal, depositing big amounts of silt on the road and causing the the water to back flow through our garage as well as gouging out the next doors neighbors driveway. After several attempts to get the council to have a look at it through phone calls and posting it on their web site nothing has been done and when the riverside slip was cleaned up and the contractors were approached by me they told me that AA call to council would be all that's needed to get them to come over with their front end loader to at least remove the silt and mud from the ro. I Rang imidiatly yet nothing happend. It is frustrating to deal with the council people in charge since there is a wide spread complacency when it comes to issues of concern even when road safety is at issue.
• Multiple street lights not working

  There are multiple street lights that are not turning on at night. The roundabout on Balmacewan drive is a busy street both for pedestrians and vehicles. This problem has gotten progressively worse in the last few weeks. Please respond with urgency as this has become a safety and security risk.

• Jacaranda tree dangerous Huia Street

  Jacaranda Tree outside our property in Council berm has a big crack down a major branch like the ones in the CBD. The tree has been hit in the past by rubbish trucks and big trucks during the subdivision on Eric Wakelin Lane. Branches have been trimmed before due to damage caused by trucks. I believe this is now a health and safety issue as the crack has only gotten bigger in the past 12 months. The crack has gone through the shows through both sides of the branch.
• Safety on Corks Road

  There are actually a number of issues that could and should be addressed such as; the high-speed rates by cars, there is no Zebra crossing up by the high school for the students to cross the road. There is no footpath towards the opposite end of Corks Road and I have noticed a lot of children walking on that side of the road when coming too and from school. The park has no barrier or fence around it, so if unwatched children are at high risk of being run over. There are two what I call ‘conscience crossings’ where pedestrians can cross the road safely, however that is only if cars are willing to stop for them. Thank you.
• Streetvlights not working

  Both lights at junction of St Mary Close & Whangarei Heads Rd are out. They are on dangerous bend that traffic comes down at speed.
• Street light loose & hanging down

  A newly installed LED street light is hanging down and now does not shine on the street but only on to my front lawn.
• No Street lighting and at end of culdesac, and a dumping ground

  I would like to see the street lighting continue down the road to the end of the culdesac, this road serves as access to and from AH REED MEMORIAL scenic track where there is a lot of pedestrians and cyclists utilizing this road. I am worried that poor lighting conditions has the potential for someone getting badly hurt or even killed, I am a resident of Paranui Valley Road, and commuting home on numerous occasions I have seen people nearly hit due to not seeing them in the dark. Also the culdesac has been used to exchange and the use of drugs due to is discreet location, I have had to collect rubbish being dumped at the end of the road and would guarantee having lights would be a good deterrent. The yellow no parking road markings need to be re done and extended so vehicle are not parking over the fire hydrants and congesting the end of the road.

• street light needed

  Hello. Please could we have a street light installed on the lamp post opposite the Kaurihohore Church at (59) Apotu Rd, Kauri. We have regular night meetings here, and with people parking on the side of the road, as well as in the carpark, it would be safer to have some lighting. Especially as a number of the users are elderly. Thanks for looking into this. Rev Martin Dickson
