Typical Wellington weather, can't go a week without something falling on the road. Hope everyone's okay.

Riley Scott2026-07-09T04:03:02.000Z

ffs, this is what happens when you don't maintain the trees. Council asleep at the wheel again.

Riley Scott2026-07-09T04:40:02.000Z

exactly, but nah they gotta spend money on bloody consultants to tell em it's raining.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-09T04:32:02.000Z

Poor businesses. They've been through enough with covid and now this. Hope insurance covers it.

James O’Brien2026-07-09T04:45:02.000Z

Yeah nah, this is just the norm now. Climate change is real and Wellington is getting hammered.

Sky Murphy2026-07-09T05:13:02.000Z

But sure, let's spend millions on a cycle bridge while roads are caving in. Priorities eh.

Jordan Bell2026-07-09T05:59:02.000Z

facts. councils just love wasting money on flashy nonsense while roads crumble.

Sky Murphy2026-07-09T06:21:02.000Z

too right, it's pathetic.

Zoe King2026-07-09T06:02:02.000Z

Honestly, who's surprised? Wellington's infrastructure is held together with duct tape and hopes.

Jordan Bell2026-07-09T06:07:02.000Z

Another day, another slip. Might as well move to Christchurch if you want stable ground lol.

James O’Brien2026-07-09T06:22:02.000Z

lol cope. Christchurch had quakes. At least trees don't kill your foundation.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-09T06:22:02.000Z

Council will be out with a cone and a 'no parking' sign in a week. That'll fix it.
