The 50kmh speed limit on Port Hills Rd, from Garlands Rd to the Tunnel Rd intersection, was legally changed to 60kmh by the NZ Transport Agency in March 2011, but the signs were never changed so police have been ticketing people based on a 50kmh limit.

National Volunteer Week (17-23 of June 2018)
celebrates the 1.2 million Kiwis who are volunteering their time and skills to our communities every year.
The theme this year is Volunteers, The Heart of our Community – By many, the work will be completed, Mā tini, mā mano, ka rapa te whai.
We think this captures the essence of what volunteering is about. This is a time to acknowledge how volunteering efforts contribute to and enrich all communities within Aotearoa.

"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.
Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?

Early last Century Professor Hall declared that adolescence is a period of “storm and strife” and this description seems to have stuck. We now understand so much more about the developmental period between puberty and the end of the formative part of brain development, and in the light of this new understanding, we can declare that this is an exciting and ever changing but extremely important time of life.

Three years ago the Christchurch City Council funded about 35 percent of its annual budget, however that funding is now half of what it once was. The organisation aimed to help people with a range of issues, including legal problems, employment issues, family disputes and tenancy concerns. The council itself refers people to the service.
Bureau chairperson Neil Lancaster said if funding cuts continued, the organisation would have to scale back its programmes.
"We appreciate the funding restraints that exist for the Christchurch City Council at the moment," he said.
"But I guess our worry is that on one hand they class us a priority one community group, but at the same time they have halved our funding.
The organisation wanted to expand in the city's east, but that might not be possible.
They operated a "face-to-face" service in Eastgate Mall, as part of a group of similar community groups, and could now only afford to be there once a week.
"If our funding had stayed the same, we could be looking at offering a service there three days a week," he said.
There was strong demand for the bureau's service in the city's east, Mr Lancaster said.
"Sometimes we would go along there about half an hour before we start and there could be two or three people waiting."
RNZ News has approached the Christchurch City Council for comment.
