Have your say on the speed limit changes we are proposing
There’s still time to have your say on the speed limit changes we’re proposing to a number of local roads and near some schools.
To improve safety, we’re proposing 40km/h variable speed limits around Matua Primary School, Tauranga Intermediate School, Aquinas College, Golden Sands Primary School and Taumata School zones; and lowering the speed limit on sections of Ohauiti Road, Welcome Bay Road, Kaitemako Road, Oropi Road, Pyes Pa Road, Totara Street, Parton Road, Tara Road, Domain Road, Maranui Street and Papamoa Beach Road.
These are areas of the city where we have received ongoing complaints about the speed limits and where the city has changed from a rural environment to an urban environment.
Let us know what you think. Submissions close 27 November 2020.
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?
