Smith Street Speed Limits –Only aFew<br />
Days Le toHave Your Say<br />
Should we lower the Smith Street speed limit from<br />
80km to 50km?<br />
The Council is reviewing speed limits to ensure<br />
roads have safe and appropriate speeds for their<br />
current use.<br />
This review focuses between the SH1 motorway<br />
interchange and the Cam River bridge.<br />
Further development istaking place in the<br />
commercial area on the south side of the<br />
road. This means the current speed limit is not<br />
appropriate for the future urban residential and<br />
commercial setting.<br />
We welcome your feedback on the proposed<br />
change. Share your thoughts with us on the link<br />
below before Monday 28<strong>November</strong> <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

Road Resealing Programme<br />
This summer it’s sealing season. Council is rolling<br />
out its road resurfacing programme and you will<br />
see contractors working on various roads around<br />
the District.<br />
To begin with contractors will prepare the roads,<br />
ready to be sealed. This involves minor repairs<br />
including filling potholes, repairing edge break and<br />
carrying out minor levelling works before the new<br />
chipseal is applied.<br />
Thework will be carriedout duringthe day and<br />
contractors willtry andkeepdisruptiontoaminimum<br />
however, theremay be some impacts including:<br />
• Limited traffic movementthroughthe street, some<br />
controlled access and reduced on-street parking<br />
• There may be some noise and vibration from<br />
construction during the day<br />
• The area will be swept within 48 hours of sealing<br />
but we would expect asmall amount of ongoing<br />
chip loss over the next 3-6 months.<br />
Letterdrops will be carried out prior to chipsealing<br />
being carried out. This is an ongoing programme so<br />
keepaneye on ourFacebook pagefor regular updates.<br />
