Poll: Proposed speed limit changes in Franklin
A controversial plan by Auckland Transport to slash speed limits on hundreds of Auckland roads has many motorists hot under the collar, but some locals welcome the news.
800 roads in Auckland and the surrounding region could see speed limit changes should the bylaw, that began consultation last month, go through. The new proposal would see the speed limit on Cape Hill Rd changed from 100kmh to 60kmh, with many other major rural roads in the region dropping to 80kmh.
What are your thoughts? Are you for or against the changes? Do you think speeds on our rural roads are a problem - or is it the underdeveloped roads that are the problem?
-
45% All for the proposed changes - our limits need reducing
-
55% The limits in Franklin are fine as they currently are

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
