ffs council still won't fix the drainage on that road. Overtime for the boys in hi-vis again I bet.

Good on him for stopping and helping out. More Kiwis need that attitude instead of driving past.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-08T00:29:59.000Z

true, gotta give credit where it's due. Still doesn't excuse the state of the roads though.

This is why we need better street lighting. Night driving in Welly is a death wish.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-08T00:52:59.000Z

Facts. Streetlights are non-existent out that way. Classic cost cutting.

Classic Wellington. One bit of rain and the hills fall apart. Get used to it folks.

Wonder if the council will blame climate change or just shrug it off like the last slip...

Hayden Kelly2026-07-08T00:56:59.000Z

yeah nah typical lazy council. Bet the mayor's off having a nice lunch right now.

about budget but they find money for consultants lol

Leo McKenzie2026-07-08T01:24:59.000Z

they're too busy painting bike lanes on roads nobody rides on

Leo McKenzie2026-07-08T01:07:59.000Z

How about we spend some of that cycleway budget on fixing roads instead hey

Sam North2026-07-08T01:20:59.000Z

Lucky he wasn't killed. Could've been a hell of a lot worse. Props to the driver for having a go at clearing it.
