Speed limits changing on Yaldhurst roads

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Speed limits on some roads in Yaldhurst will be lowered at the beginning of December according to Christchurch City Council.

Slower speed limits are proposed for State Highway 73 extending west through the Yaldhurst township. The existing speed limits were 80km/h and 100km/h, with 70km/h through Yaldhurst town centre.

A limit of 60km/h is proposed for the urban fringe and Yaldhurst town centre with a reduction to 80km/h for the west of Yaldhurst, while the intervening rural section east of Yaldhurst is to remain at 80km/h.

Changes were also made for Ryans, Pound, Hasketts and School roads.

The speed limits for these roads are being reduced from 70km/h or 80km/h to 60km/h. Sections of Ryans, Hasketts and School roads have already been changed. Remaining changes on Ryans and Pound roads will be coordinated with changes to SH73.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
