This month's theme is walking and pathways to walkable communities. A key part of making walking attractive is being able to safely walk and cross the road. Yesterday, Christchurch City Council (CCC) councillors made the decision to approve the Safe Speed Neighbourhoods interim (phase one) Speed Management Plan to reduce speed limits to 30 km around all schools across Christchurch city and Banks Peninsula. This is an excellent achievement for helping to create safer communities for our young people on their journey to and from school. Bravo CCC!
