The Mangaekewa Stream in Waikato is overflowing due to
the severe weather in the region.
Due to this, several
streets in Te Kuiti are blocked including The Esplanade,
Massey Street, Rata Street, Lawrence Street, and Ngarongo
Street. Other roads around the area are also
blocked.
Our staff are working with Civil Defence
Emergency Management, local councils, and other agencies in
response.
Diversions are being put in place and
motorists are advised to avoid the
area.
If you're using Scoop for work, your organisation needs to pay a small license fee with Scoop Pro. We think that's fair, because your organisation is benefiting from using our news resources. In return, we'll also give your team access to pro news tools and keep Scoop free for personal use, because public access to news is important!
