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.

Bargain or big risk? Crown puts Huntly subsidence home on the market

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Crown-owned subsidence property has come on the market, but whether potential buyers reckon it’s a bargain or risky buy is yet to be seen.

While some might view the Huntly east property as a bargain, Huntly real estate agents reckoned living on top of the mining zone makes some buyers nervous they’re going to “just sink one day”. Although, the agents are fairly confident the area is safe.
