The reporter’s words

Kia ora Christopher You probably keep getting emails saying that Downer/SouthernLink will be unblocking that troublesome drain. Unfortunately we only maintain the state highways for Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency. I keep sending them back to the council – but I’m not sure why they are not allocating them to their maintenance provider for Mary McLean Place. Haumarutia to haere - drive safe Julie Gaudin (they/them) Customer and Stakeholder Manager New Zealand I don’t know who’s at fault here but send out either downer or another contractor They are flooding again. I’ve lifted the steel grate so all your crew has to do is suck up the blockage If not, your going to have 15-20 people flooded in the social housing flats down the road. And my mums house on opawa road. Thanks xox And no they haven’t come and unblocked them, I’m a drain layer and haven’t seen any suction trucks
