We're asking the community to share their views on a proposed Speed Management Plan to improve safety on roads in Marshland, Spencerville and Kainga.

The proposed plan targets lower speeds on the city’s key eastern routes, including Marshland Road.

Four people died and 28 people were seriously injured in road accidents in the area between 2013 and 2017, while 77 people suffered minor injuries.

There were 155 non-injury crashes in the same period.

Under the plan, a proposed lower limit – dropping from 80km/h or 70km/h to 60km/h – will be supported by intersection signage and more road markings and centre line reflectors.

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

My sons are off to Australia with their Shirley Boys High cricket team in September and I am making them raise half the cost of their trip.

$10 per box.

We can deliver 6 boxes or more for free within the Chch area (at a time that suits)

My son's have also made a splitter box to help split the kindling if you want and they are selling these for $10.

Photo 3 shows the splitter block and the last photo shows how much kindling you get if you split just one $10 box.

Kindling can also be picked up from either Burwood or Harewood (Near Bishopdale)

They have sold a lot to very happy people but still have boxes left.
