‘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The Christchurch City Council has been told that deadlines and targets for reviewing speed limits have been revoked, but parts of an interim multimillion-dollar programme are going ahead because the work is already under contract.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: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
