Harewood speed changes
Good news for the North West community
The Community Board advocated to council, to reduce the speed east of Johns Road along Harewood Road to 50km/h.
Advice from traffic engineers was the 70km/h should be 60km/h but the number of community requests to reduce this to 50km/h was significant during the engagement process. Harewood School principal Julie Greenwood and students made deputations to the board as well. It is worth noting that the Harewood Playcentre start and finishing times are different to the school, and there is a new cycle underpass nearby that goes under Johns Road.
Council decided that due to the divergence from staff advice, that the speed limit along stretch of road will be reviewed in 6 months and reported back to the board.
*Please note there are other speed changes being made in the wider area
In Yaldhurst- Guys, Savills, Ryans and Coringa Road
Harewood- Harewood Road, Waimakariri and Sawyers Arms Road
Harewood- Gardiners & Styx Mill as well as Hussey Road

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
