‘Road to zero’ out, but some slow speeds remain
Hi neighbours, some temporary speed reductions around Christchurch schools will remain for now, despite signalled changes from the new Government.
The Christchurch City Council has been told that deadlines and targets for reviewing speed limits have been revoked, but parts of an interim multimillion-dollar programme are going ahead because the work is already under contract.
However, with new rules foreshadowed, the council may find itself needing to rip up and replace the road signs with a more expensive option.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
