Traffic bylaw to discourage street racing nearly there in Palmerston North
Hi neighbours,
Palmerston North is a step closer to a bylaw change intended to discourage gatherings of antisocial street racing.
The rule changes would apply to known hot spots, and apart from exemptions for residents, businesses, emergency services and legitimate users, would ban light vehicles from those streets from 10pm to 4am.
Are there any other measures you think the city council and police should be considering?
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
