‘Road to zero’ out, but some slow speeds remain

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Hi neighbours, some temporary speed reductions around Christchurch schools will remain for now, despite signalled changes from the new Government.

The Christchurch City Council has been told that deadlines and targets for reviewing speed limits have been revoked, but parts of an interim multimillion-dollar programme are going ahead because the work is already under contract.

However, with new rules foreshadowed, the council may find itself needing to rip up and replace the road signs with a more expensive option.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Clifford Jose, legal counsel to the late Mr. Robert Fitzpatrick, an American consultant formerly with Shell UK Ltd in London. Tragically, Mr. Fitzpatrick passed away in the EgyptAir Flight 990 crash on October 31, 1999.

Despite exhaustive efforts, we have been unable to locate any next of kin or ascertain the existence of a valid will. Consequently, I am reaching out to seek your assistance in this matter.

Please find attached further details for your review.

Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,
Barrister Clifford Jose
