Grounsell Crescent Traffic Management

Hutt City Council Traffic Subcommittee approved this in their September 2022 meeting and speed cushions were installed Tuesday 13 December 2022.

We are committed to making the streets around Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai Lower Hutt safe for everyone. When issues around speeding and anti-social driving behaviour along Grounsell Crescent, Belmont, were raised by concerned members of the community, Council investigated, and it was confirmed that traffic calming measures were needed.

In consultation with Waka Kotahi, we have looked into a range of options to improve the safety of Grounsell Cres and it was decided that speed cushions will be installed as the best option to meet the safety needs of all road users in the community.

This treatment plan will reduce speeds and deter traffic from using this route when not travelling into Belmont, ultimately making the street safer for everyone.

We are seeking feedback from affected residents and the wider community to determine we have the locations of the speed cushions in the right places to meet these safety needs. Below you will find a map showing the proposed speed cushion locations and an opportunity to leave feedback.

Feedback must be received by 5pm July 10, 2022
