This has much to do with open highways reduced under the Labour-Greens Govt from 100km to 80km and inner cities and towns from 50km down to 40km and 30 km.
One of the most obvious is State Highway 2 between Featheston and Carterton which is virtually a straight road in a rural area and suddenly without much consideration has been restricted to 80km.
But closer to home what I would like to see is Alexander Road in Upper Hutt returned to 80km instead of the new speed restriction of 50km. This road incorporates a golf course on one side and a military encampment on the other and further along has fully high fenced-in urban housing and has several round-abouts which each automatically reduces speed to as low as 30km-40km when approaching and during the rounding.
I hope that the Government can knock some sense into the UHCC who engineered this new restricted speed in Alexander Road which is easy pickings for the cops to make some money but otherwise not doing much good and has had a very low accident rating.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

So the multitude of ones that are up and ready are being overtaxed in the workload they have taken on which had already been "heavy".
I just wonder how the many countries without royalty or such noticeable/prominent royalty, survive daily life. NZ is one. Few know who our royalty-rep (GovGen) is nor have seen her in action. Are we missing something?
Nostradamus, famous for his predictions over the last four centuries and into the future has a prophesy interpreted that Harry and Meghan will take over the role of King & his consort in the UK. That seems less an improbable scenario right now.

Good job Wellington Water and UH City Council. Yeah, right.
Less than a few months ago a leak in busy Ward Street took almost 4 months to fix during that time thousands had to step over or wade through the 24/7 water wastage. Around the same time other people in UH reported the 2-3 months delays in public water leaks being attended to and one person spoke of six months gap between first report and repairs.
At the very least there could be some honesty.
One does hope that there are plans to put into action for a few days gap only between leak spotting and leak fixing.
