I want to pass on my praise of these gentlemen who showed the most professional attitude and expertise on all 3 occasions that they visited my abode, to deal with this unpleasant problem. Unfortunately, they were unable to totally guarantee that the problem will not re occur, as it appears that some third party (or parties) have flushed an unknown amount of debris into the line and until it is all accounted for, may continue to cause blockages. There would seem to be a need for some sort of educational thrust ( pamphlet drop, news article ??) on the non-disposal of wet wipes ,etc via the sewer system. Thank you and your team for the speedy response and I hope that this will be the last time I will have to call upon your services.

ROADING Implementation of the Okaihau-Kaeo-Waimate Speed Limit changes has been delayed by approximately 4 weeks (and potentially 2 months). The delay a result of supply chain issues of importing signs, sockets and posts from China. Delivery of the Capital Works programme continues to progress well To maintain the District’s and, after some initial programme slippage against the original roading network in a forecast in the first 3 months of the year, is on track for completion satisfactory condition and in against the revised (increased total programme) forecast. accordance with national safety and engineering standards. The Dust Suppression program was successfully completed in December noting that, since completion, a number of requests have been received from Customers whose roads weren’t treated questioning why. Responses to these enquiries has required investment of significant staff time and effort. The condensed summer traffic count programme commenced in late December 2020 and will continue into January 2021, with this captured information to provide a key component of updated data within the Dust Prioritisation Matrix. The Hokianga Ferry service experiences significant pressure at this time of year and as a result the vessel operates continuously (known as shuttling) for long periods to reduce queue lengths and waiting time as much as possible. The operator also deployed a Traffic Management Plan including a temporary speed restriction to warn drivers and to mitigate safety issues as a result of queues. As part of the continued preparation for a potentially dry summer and a subsequent increased in Unsealed Road RFS’s, the Maintenance and Operations Team have developed an Unsealed Roads information sheets. These have been provided to FNDC’s Comms (for proactive community messaging) and Customer Service teams (for consistent informed responses to enquiries). The overall number of requests for service are trending down, towards the situation one year earlier. The month on month gap comparing the same months from 2019 has reduced by 23%. There remains room for improvement and the team are due to explore ways to review.

Many other similar projects around New Zealand are experiencing similar delays, as container ships struggle to secure berthing to be unloaded and distribute their products. • Our contractor, Ventia, is continuing to ensure we are ready to go as soon as all the shipments arrive, by pre-digging the holes for each of the new posts. • The existing speed limits will continue to be legal and enforceable until the new signs are fully implemented. • Council will continue updating the public as we move closer to the completion date. Police have agreed to help educate drivers in the bedding down period, as we adjust to the lower and safer speed limits. • Police have agreed to help educate drivers in the bedding down period, as we adjust to the lower and safer speed limits.
