    A number of roads have closed and homes have been evacuated after 120 weather-related incidents in Wellington

    A number of roads have closed and homes have been evacuated after 120 weather-related incidents in Wellington


    A spokesperson for the Wellington City Council says the incidents since Thursday morning include slips, felled trees and debris.

    There are two significant slips that have closed roadws: one on Sutherland Crescent in Melrose, and another on Laura Ave in Brooklyn.

    There have also been evacuations at Tiotio Rd, Seatoun and Oldham Way while properties are assessed to see if they're safe and sanitary to return to.

    A large slip has taken out a section of Wilton Park's football field.

    In Karori, Birdwood St remains closed by a slip, and while Onslow Rd in Khandallah has reopened, households evacuated because of that slip have been unable to return home.

    The Terrace between Ghuznee St and Buller St remains closed to traffic following the large slip there last week.

    State Highway 59 is still closed between Pukerua Bay and Paekakariki, with council contractors on site to clear debris.
