Poll: 30 km/h speed limit for Middleton Road?
WCC is planning to reduce speed limits on most roads in Wellington to 30km/h. The proposal is open for public consultation until 30th June.
More information can be found at www.letstalk.wellington.govt.nz... and feedback on Neighbourly can be found on at www.neighbourly.co.nz...
The following poll's aim is to gather people's views on reducing the speed limit specifically on Middleton Road, which is a main arterial road and bus route connecting Johnsonville and Tawa.
Middleton Road currently has a 70 km/h non-residential speed limit zone and a 50 km/h residential speed limit zone. Under the new proposed plan, the speed limit in both zones will drop to 30 km/h.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
