Be part of the clean-up week<br />
KIA ORA, I’d like to take<br />
the opportunity to share with<br />
you some of the ways you can<br />
be involved in your community<br />
in the Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote area for our<br />
<strong>September</strong> update.<br />
We have just finished our<br />
“have your say” campaign for<br />
community uses for the Te Pou<br />
Toetoe: Linwood Pool complex<br />
but wanted to let you know<br />
that while we still have plenty<br />
of time during construction we<br />
are always keen to hear your<br />
thoughts on how we can make<br />
this the most user-friendly space<br />
for all in our community.<br />
Whether it is adult swim<br />
classes, educational sessions<br />
for the community or fun days<br />
that bring the community<br />
together we would love to hear<br />
more of your ideas. Get in<br />
touch with one of your local<br />
representatives.<br />
Keep Christchurch Beautiful<br />
and the SALT District are<br />
partnering on a very special<br />

hour sprucing up a local spot of<br />
your choice.<br />

disposable gloves if you don’t<br />
have your own) will be available<br />

finally opened.<br />
After <strong>10</strong> years the community<br />
finally has its library back up<br />
and running. It is located on<br />
the corner of Opawa Rd and<br />
Richardson Tce, the same site<br />
where the original library was<br />
established in 1936.<br />
The library meeting room will<br />
also be available for community<br />
groups to hire so please get in<br />
touch at opawapubliclibrary@<br />
gmail.com or swing by and visit<br />
the friendly team Monday to<br />
Saturday.<br />
Changes<br />
would align<br />
to majority<br />
of feedback<br />
•From page 1<br />
Keeping the current speed limit<br />
at 70km/h would “align with the<br />
majority of feedback” received<br />
when the changes were mooted<br />
last year, he said.<br />
Then, there were claims the<br />
change would mean slower<br />
travelling times and lost<br />
productivity, and increased<br />
congestion and driver<br />
frustration.<br />
Council research suggested<br />
travel times might drop by 90sec<br />
at most.<br />
The boards were advised this<br />
should be balanced against the<br />
$5.07 million social cost of a fatal<br />
crash, or of a serious injury crash<br />
($926,000).<br />
They were also told congestion<br />
was more directly linked to<br />
traffic volume and congestion at<br />
intersections, and speeds were<br />
much lower than the speed limit<br />
during peak times.<br />
The Christchurch Northern<br />
Corridor played a part – traffic on<br />
Marshland Rd was expected to<br />
grow 20 per cent by 2026 on 2015<br />
volumes, compared to 93 per cent<br />
without the corridor.<br />
