The great slowdown of the region's roads continues with Masterton District Council's new draft speed management plan proposing slashed speed limits around schools, marae, and on "high-risk" roads.
LATE cycle star Craig Hardie was afforded one final ride as his family and friends said an emotional farewell last Friday. Craig, a former national champion across various disciplines within the sport, passed away at Victoria Hospital on February 3, whilst holding the hands of his wife, Lynn, and daughter, Lois, after a five-month battle with cancer. The funeral of the brave Dunfermline Cycling Club stalwart, who was also a founding member of the Fife Revolutions cycle speedway club, was held at Dunfermline Crematorium. Prior to the service, a number of Craig s friends pedalled behind his coffin, which was carried for the final part of his journey, from just before Masterton Primary School, between two bicycles, which his family had described as a cycle hearse.
