Poll: Should the speed be reduced on the road from Christchurch to Akaroa?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Hi neighbours,

Canterbury’s “highest risk route” will be under the spotlight as the public are asked to give their views on the road’s current speed limits.

Between 2011 and 2020, 75 people were killed or suffered serious injuries on the road between Christchurch and Akaroa.

Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is now seeking feedback from communities on the Banks Peninsula and Christchurch to hear their views on what the speed limits should be.

Do you think the speed should be reduced along SH 75/73?

People can provide feedback by visiting the NZTA website or emailing chchtoakaroaspeeds@nzta.govt.nz.

Drop-in sessions will also take place at:

Te Hapua Halswell Centre, July 1, 3–6pm

Little River School, July 6, 3–6pm

Tai Tapu Hotel, July 6, 10am–1pm

The Gaiety Hall, Akaroa, July 10, 11am–2pm

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?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
