NPD announces they are coming to Mandeville
NPD has announced today, on their FB page, that they are coming to Mandeville ‘soon’. That’s an interesting development because I would have thought they’d hold off on making such an announcement until the Developer had got their Tram Rd access sorted – and their plan hasn’t passed the safety audit yet. And it won’t pass the safety audit until the new speed limit takes effect.
NPD will want their bowsers to be accessible from Tram Rd – they want all that commuter fuel business.
But, we haven’t even voted on the new 80kph speed limit survey yet! What’s going on here??
We don’t even know what’s involved in getting an 80kph speed limit – the traffic experts have already confirmed a couple of new 80kph signs ain’t going to cut it. So it’s a roundabout or an intersection redesign! How much does a roundabout cost? Are we voting on a million dollar plus capital expenditure project?
The commissioner did stipulate in his “conditions” upon granting the RC that the Developer was liable for any roading work that was to be carried out.
We need to see a public statement from the council explaining what’s happening – what does the new 80kph speed limit solution look like, how much does it cost and exactly who is paying for it - preferably BEFORE we vote on it.
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
☔️ Where’d the summer go?
It’s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Canterbury "summer" has felt a bit wet this year! We’ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately 🌧️ In fact, the Post reports that Christchurch experienced almost double our usual!
While the forecast is looking bright for this weekend (fingers crossed!), we aren't out of the woods ... there are a few more cold fronts lining up before winter hits.
