Sinking street in Porirua 'feels like driving over waves'JAMES PAUL/STUFF Sarah King, 14, uses a spirit level to show how uneven the road has become. JAMES PAUL/STUFF Porirua City Council has reduced Albatross Cl to one lane and is monitoring the street daily after part of it sank "to varying degrees" last week. Porirua City Council said it did not know what had happened, or what was causing it, but confirmed the latest slump was not the first. JAMES PAUL/STUFF Porirua City Council has been surveying the Albatross Cl for several months and says that, until now, the movement had been minimal. On Wednesday, council city and community infrastructure executive officer Ashley Gore sent residents a letter explaining what steps were being taken.
