We need your thoughts on speed limits

Noel Smith from Noel Smith Councillor - Newcastle Ward

We are looking for feedback on our Proposed Amendments to the Waikato District Council Speed Limits Bylaw 2011.

We are focusing on Te Kowhai, Ngaruawahia, Tamahere, Tuakau and Horsham Downs.

Please go to our website to have a look at the Te Kowhai roads earmarked for a speed limit reduction.

An interactive map will display potentially affected roads and the public will be able to make a submission at www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz...

To encourage conversation around speed on roads, we are also inviting the community to a drop-in session at:

Ngaruawahia Memorial Hall, Thursday 1 November, 3.30pm-7.30pm

Submissions are open now and close on 9 November 2018.

If you would like to present your submission to Council, a Hearing has been scheduled for 12 December 2018.

For more information please call 0800 492 452.
