Year 7 and 8 pupils at Swannanoa School worked with Lucinda Rees, the founder of advocacy group NZ School Speeds, to use the Speed Clock app to record the speed of vehicles passing the school on Tram Rd last Thursday afternoon.

It comes after Transport Minister Michael Wood​ last month announced the Government's proposal to drop speed limits to 30 kmh outside urban schools and a maximum of 60 kmh outside rural schools.

Rees said many Swannanoa pupils were “horrified” to hear the speed limit was so high around their school and that any potential changes may not happen until 2029.

Submissions on the proposed changes can be made online at www.nzta.govt.nz... or by emailing rules@nzta.govt.nz until June 25.

Kiwis have already put up more than half the cash needed to bring two of Christchurch’s highest peaks into public ownership and turn them into a conservation park.

The Press has teamed up with the Rod Donald Banks Peninsula Trust on its Te Ahu Pātiki project, to help raise enough money to buy a 500-hectare block between Mt Herbert and Mt Bradley.

The aim is to make sure the public will always have access to a sprawling network of popular walking tracks, and to let the whole block return to native bush.

A Givealittle page was launched this morning to help the trust overcome its last hurdle. Click the links below to read the full story and donate.

OPINION: We can disagree profoundly with someone like David Gaughan without trying to put him out of business

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

From columnist Verity Johnson: Middle NZ was asked whether it cared enough about cancel culture to stop supporting a local boozer and beer brand whose owner wrote a racist Facebook post calling Māori the "scurge of society". Apparently, it doesn’t.

From columnist Verity Johnson: Middle NZ was asked whether it cared enough about cancel culture to stop supporting a local boozer and beer brand whose owner wrote a racist Facebook post calling Māori the "scurge of society". Apparently, it doesn’t.


That’s not to say it necessarily agreed with the appalling comments – many of them openly said that they didn’t. Rather they just didn’t think cancelling the brewery was justified. Especially after Eagle Brewing owner Dave Gaughan’s apology.

The disgusting, heartbreaking part of all this is that cancel culture used to be called boycotting. Boycotting was one of few effective weapons of the genuinely disenfranchised. It was the furious, white-hot fire that forged real revolutions from Rosa Parks to Gandhi.

Until we stole it. We took it off the streets, into the wine bars, and disembowelled it. Ripped out its heart and teeth. Death by gentrification. Gaughan’s not the only one who should apologise.
