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.

Do you agree with the new speed limit planned for Middleton Road?
