Poll: Do you want the 60kph speed limit to stay?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

City council staff want a 60kph speed limit to remain on a surface-flooding prone section of Cobham Dr despite a majority of the public wanting it to go back to 80kph.

The staff recommendation to an upcoming traffic, speed limit and road closure hearings panel covers the section of Cobham Dr between Tristram St and Normandy Ave.

Do you want the 60kph speed limit to stay? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Even with a cautious approach to spending, the benefits are slowly making their way into the local economy.
