ROAD SPEED ON THE UP

Michael from Trentham

The Coalition Government is all set to reverse the previous Government's speed reductions on some roads and in the proximity of schools etc as well as going as high as a speed limit from 100km to 120km on some "open"roads.

Well I hope they will instruct the UH City Council to reverse at least in part the speed reduction along Alexander Road from 50km back to 80km. The Council has just been made to look ridiculous in its decision on a road that includes a golf course on one side and a barb wired fenced in military encampment on the other.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
