Safe System approach to lower speeds

The Team from Christchurch City Council

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.

🩸 Giving Blood, Plasma and Platelets Saves Lives! 🩸

Melissa from Emergency Cards Limited

Just one blood, plasma or platelet donation can make a life-saving difference to the lives of many. Whether you’re a first-time donor or a regular, every donation counts! ❤️

New Zealand is currently short on donors, and to keep up with demand, is having to import blood products from overseas. So, if you can spare an hour (or slightly more) a few times a year, you’d be giving a priceless gift to those in need right here at home.

Let's support each other and those in need - you never know when a loved one may need it.

And remember our Emergency Cards and Tags have space to record your blood type, helping first responders act fast when it matters most!
