About time they fixed the pipe, but a month of overnight noise? That's rough on residents.

did it overnight to avoid traffic but yeah, noise sucks.

Bet they'll still find a way to blame the council next time it floods.

I get it's necessary but couldn't they do it during the day? Some of us actually need sleep.

would be worse for traffic though, I guess.

Classic Wellington. No planning, just chaos.

My grandma lives on that street, she's been so stressed about this. They better be careful.

Surely there's a way to do this without keeping everyone awake?

Tom Harris2026-06-14T01:59:14.000Z

Well, they have to do it sometime. Just hope it's done properly.
