Poll: What do you reckon: stick with the lower limit or put it back up?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Lower speed limits may stick around on two well-used Hamilton routes, despite a Government-ordered reversal.

The rule change requires councils to reverse speed reductions made since 2019 - but Hamilton City Council staff propose keeping the lower limits on a piece of Cobham Dr, heading from the CBD to Melville, and on Ruakura road.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waipā District Council says the government’s “one size fits all” proposal to cap rate rises could disproportionately harm fast-growing councils such as Waipā.

On Wednesday, Strategic Planning and Policy committee members debated the council’s submission on the proposed rates cap model.
