Poll: Should the speed be reduced on the road from Christchurch to Akaroa?
Hi neighbours,
Canterbury’s “highest risk route” will be under the spotlight as the public are asked to give their views on the road’s current speed limits.
Between 2011 and 2020, 75 people were killed or suffered serious injuries on the road between Christchurch and Akaroa.
Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is now seeking feedback from communities on the Banks Peninsula and Christchurch to hear their views on what the speed limits should be.
Do you think the speed should be reduced along SH 75/73?
People can provide feedback by visiting the NZTA website or emailing chchtoakaroaspeeds@nzta.govt.nz.
Drop-in sessions will also take place at:
Te Hapua Halswell Centre, July 1, 3–6pm
Little River School, July 6, 3–6pm
Tai Tapu Hotel, July 6, 10am–1pm
The Gaiety Hall, Akaroa, July 10, 11am–2pm

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

House Sitters Available
Dear Neighbours
We are a hard working trustworthy family of 4 (non smokers/no pets of our own) looking to house sit in the New Year while we market/sell our property in Rolleston with the aim of moving back to the Cashmere area. We have 2 teenage sons who are at Burnside High School and my new job is also based in the central city. We are happy to care for gardens and pets and expect to pay power.
Warm wishes
