$200k achieving ‘almost nothing’ MAX FRETHEY
Local Democracy Reporter
An atmosphere of anger and disappointment hung over the Tasman District Council chamber last Thursday after it estimates it spent around $200k achieving “almost nothing”. Councillors made clear they were “extremely frustrated” with the Government’s new rule that dictates how councils set speed limits and plan to push back on Transport Minister Simeon Brown. The rule, signed off by the Minister, blocks the district from lowering more than 100 speed limits despite the changes being consulted on and complying with the limits contained within the rule. As a result, councillors grudgingly supported re-consulting the community on the changes that they already agreed to in July.

WE BUILT THIS CITY: A Lego city with no name and a Marvel fling was showcased at the Top of the South Brick Show at the weekend by Motueka couple Bradley Richards and Leah Bullock.Their design, which featured Marvel’s The Daily Bugle newsroom as the centrepiece, went through an urban expansion using 60,000 Lego pieces for the couple’s second show. Bradley says the city was a combination of Lego sets he’d collected over several years. “It’s quite relaxing and fun to build and putting little stories with the mini figures throughout the city is quite cool as well,” he says.
