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 />
