Concerned Te Puna residents and motorists are reporting another slip on Te Puna Station Road this morning following the wet weekend.

This follows multiple reports of slips and expressions of frustration on the road this month, where one local resident has previously labelled the section of road a "continual public safety issue".

The segment of Te Puna Station Road where slips usually occur runs alongside the Wairoa River.

UPDATE 12.57pm: A Western Bay of Plenty District Council spokesperson says the northbound lane is blocked, and the road will likely be reopened tomorrow, November 1.

"The road is closed between Waipuna Hospice and Teihana Road whilst Council's maintenance contractor clears the site," says the spokesperson.

"Clearing will take some time and the road is expected to re-open on Tuesday, November 1 under temporary traffic management.

"The cycleway has also suffered damage from an under-slip failure and will remain closed until further notice.

"We recommend that everyone evoid Te Puna Station Road and detour via Clarke Road or Te Puna Road until Te Puna Station Road is reopened."

Earlier this month, one local commented "the bank is always slipping".

"There's so many times it's slipped and all they do is clear it up," says the local.

"Then with the next heavy rain it does it again."

Another resident, posting in a local Facebook community group, says traffic is building in the area following the slip this morning.
