Waka Kotahi (NZTA) has opened submissions on increasing the speed limit on the Southern Motorway to 110km/h. The link to the feedback form is at the bottom of this page:

I have made my submission (against) and encourage anyone else who uses this road to have their say as well. I found it to be a relatively quick process.

"Head student Mackenzie Wills broke into tears detailing how classes were so full she sometimes had to sit in the corridor outside to learn.

She feared future Rolleston students would face a similar inadequate education because the ministry was “not providing us with our needs”.

“This is no longer just about the buildings it is about the future of our young people."

"A second campus for Rolleston College will be delayed, stripped back and redesigned amid a Ministerial Inquiry into new plans for school buildings.

The campus is losing classrooms, offices, counselling and nursing spaces, ... cuts that spell disaster for a school bursting at the seams,...

“I just can’t believe that what they presented on Thursday they believe could function as a secondary school in New Zealand.”"

Sometimes I happen to be outside at about the right time, and still have time to pop inside and get my good camera.

I wish I'd had time/spoons to play with the camera settings to do the closeup and the sunset justice.
