Harewood speed changes
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
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.

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?
