Poll: 30 km/h speed limit for Middleton Road?

Grant Neighbourly Lead from Johnsonville

WCC is planning to reduce speed limits on most roads in Wellington to 30km/h. The proposal is open for public consultation until 30th June.
More information can be found at www.letstalk.wellington.govt.nz... and feedback on Neighbourly can be found on at www.neighbourly.co.nz...

The following poll's aim is to gather people's views on reducing the speed limit specifically on Middleton Road, which is a main arterial road and bus route connecting Johnsonville and Tawa.
Middleton Road currently has a 70 km/h non-residential speed limit zone and a 50 km/h residential speed limit zone. Under the new proposed plan, the speed limit in both zones will drop to 30 km/h.

Do you agree with the new speed limit planned for Middleton Road?

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....

In one word, how would you define 2024?

We're excited to see what you come up with!

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
