Hakatere Huts residents have accepted an apology from the Ashburton District Council in the hopes of reaching a solution in their battle over bollards.

In Methven, after years of concern, the speed limit from Racecourse Avenue to past Holmes Road, covering 600m, is dropping from 100kph to 60kph.

And Ashburton's former council civic building will go on the market later this year.
