Poll: What do you think the speed limit here should be?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Councillors have unanimously agreed to defer a decision on whether a controversial stretch of Cobham Dr should stay at 60kph or revert to 80kph.

The deferral by members of panel to a full council meeting on 26 June was so a bigger group of councillors could make the decision. A breather would also hopefully allow councillors to take account of a similar decision from NZ Transport Agency for an adjoining Cobham Dr stretch of SH1C.

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.
