Palmerston North City Council
Please avoid the Te Awe Awe/Albert St intersection in the morning, and find a different way to school.
Council is urgently fixing a manhole near the roundabout. While the intersection will be open it will be operating under stop/go and this will cause considerable delays.
They’ve asked us to share this message with you and encourage you to find another route to school in the morning.
They’ll be posting updates on the council facebook page.
Thanks for your patience.
