Poll: Is it time to lower the speed limit on NZ's open roads?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Long-term road safety data from NZTA suggests speed limits on almost 90 per cent of the country's roads are too high and should be lowered.

In 2019 so far, 172 people have been killed on New Zealand's roads, six more than at the same time last year.

Ministry of Transport data for 2016, the most recent available on its website, makes for sobering reading – 328 deaths from 286 fatal road crashes, or 0.9 deaths for every 10,000 vehicles.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Clifford Jose, legal counsel to the late Mr. Robert Fitzpatrick, an American consultant formerly with Shell UK Ltd in London. Tragically, Mr. Fitzpatrick passed away in the EgyptAir Flight 990 crash on October 31, 1999.

Despite exhaustive efforts, we have been unable to locate any next of kin or ascertain the existence of a valid will. Consequently, I am reaching out to seek your assistance in this matter.

Please find attached further details for your review.

Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,
Barrister Clifford Jose
