ROAD CLOSURE - LUDSTONE ROAD TO GREEN LANE - STARTING 13 MARCH FOR 6 WEEKS
We are repairing culverts, adding retaining structures and repairing the road surface at Ludstone Road.
Kaikōura District Council wishes to inform residents and road users that there will be a ROAD CLOSURE in place at Ludstone Road for a period of 6 weeks from 6.30am to 6.30pm while work is underway. A detour will be in place for road users.
Council's contractor Downer plans to close shortened road sections, working out from the Old DOC Building and working towards Green Lane. All work is weather dependent.
Residents effected by the works will receive a letter with more information and contact numbers for the work crew. The work crew will be speaking with residents and property owners if work plans involve restricted access to your property. They will work with residents to minimise disruption where possible.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we complete this work.
Kaikōura District Council Cyclone Gabrielle Relief Fund
We have all been following the devastation that is unfolding in the North Island and a wave of compassion is flowing out to the affected communities from all across New Zealand. We all want to help, and our community has already made an incredible contribution by organising fundraising initiatives and donations. Teams on the ground are now encouraging everyone who can help to make monetary donations rather than donating food and other goods.
How can you help?
For the communities in the North Island monetary donations are the most useful way to support them as it means organisations can provide what is most needed for each area.
Where can I donate?
Kaikōura District Council has set up a Cyclone Relief Account to help co-ordinate the fundraising from the Kaikōura District. All funds raised will be donated to the effected regions on behalf of the Kaikōura community.
Donations to Kaikōura District Council’s Cyclone Relief Fund can be made to bank account 02-0856-0011698-004
