‘Road to zero’ out, but some slow speeds remain
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The Christchurch City Council has been told that deadlines and targets for reviewing speed limits have been revoked, but parts of an interim multimillion-dollar programme are going ahead because the work is already under contract.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: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
