Good news for the North West community

The Community Board advocated to council, to reduce the speed east of Johns Road along Harewood Road to 50km/h.

Good news for the North West community

The Community Board advocated to council, to reduce the speed east of Johns Road along Harewood Road to 50km/h.

Advice from traffic engineers was the 70km/h should be 60km/h but the number of community requests to reduce this to 50km/h was significant during the engagement process. Harewood School principal Julie Greenwood and students made deputations to the board as well. It is worth noting that the Harewood Playcentre start and finishing times are different to the school, and there is a new cycle underpass nearby that goes under Johns Road.

Council decided that due to the divergence from staff advice, that the speed limit along stretch of road will be reviewed in 6 months and reported back to the board.

*Please note there are other speed changes being made in the wider area
In Yaldhurst- Guys, Savills, Ryans and Coringa Road
Harewood- Harewood Road, Waimakariri and Sawyers Arms Road
Harewood- Gardiners & Styx Mill as well as Hussey Road

Is your Hot Water Cylinder costing you the price of a new one?

Patrick from Bishopdale

I come across numerous old hot water cylinders that are passing all that precious hot water.

This is generally down to the age of the fittings.
A lot of plumbers will tell you it’s a new cylinder change which is very unfair on the customer.

If you may notice there is not enough hot water I can … View more

If you may notice there is not enough hot water I can help.

A simple fitting being replaced can rectify this.

Thinking of hiring a Tradie?
