The Love Little River Group presented a 1000 signature petition to New Zealand Transport Agency in November, calling for the speed limit on State Highway 75 to be lowered from 70km/h to 50km/h. After investigations into the possibility, the transport agency has decided it could drop the speed limit to 60km/h, but no lower. Public consultation would need to be carried out before the change could be made, however. Love Little River Group founder Marcus Puentener (right) said the response “was not good enough”. He said the transport agency was not taking into account what the community wanted, which was a speed limit of 50km/h. “We gathered more than 1000 signatures and that has no bearing at all,” he said. “People have said they are LEATHER... the recommended 3rd & 9th Wedding Anniversary Gift Why not a handcrafted, hand stitched leather bag or belt… something they’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Residents have been lobbying for the change for about 10 years, saying the drop would improve the safety of the road, which is the main route to Akaroa. Although there had been no fatal crashes on the stretch of road in the past five years, residents wanted the change made before there was one. The Love Little River Group installed signs on either side of the township to tell motorists to slow down last year. Little River Hotel owner Kathy Bisman said the community had grown in population, and the speed limit needed to be lowered to 50km/h. “There are more residents with smaller children too.” The Akaroa-Wairewa Community Board would discuss the JEEPNEY Bar • Grill • Resto THE ONLY SLOW DOWN: The Love Little River Group says it will fight to have the speed limit through the township lowered to 50km/h rather than the proposed 60km/h. transport agency’s proposal at its meeting today. Chairwoman Pam Richardson said the petition clearly showed people in the community wanted a change to be made. “The community has already made its mind up.” HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think a drop in the speed limit through Little River from 70km/h to 60km/h is low enough?
