ROAD SPEED ON THE UP

Michael from Trentham

The Coalition Government is all set to reverse the previous Government's speed reductions on some roads and in the proximity of schools etc as well as going as high as a speed limit from 100km to 120km on some "open"roads.

Well I hope they will instruct the UH City Council to reverse at least in part the speed reduction along Alexander Road from 50km back to 80km. The Council has just been made to look ridiculous in its decision on a road that includes a golf course on one side and a barb wired fenced in military encampment on the other.

STILL IN THE GAME

Michael from Trentham

The Hurricanes fell short a few metres shy of the finishing line. An inspired Chief's team and three forward passes - with two of them perhaps not so - cost us the Super Rugby Pacific grand final at a packed out Sky Stadium against the Blues.

The weekend was not the best thing happening for Wellington as the Pulse went down in extra time to the Tactics in Christchurch to give up the lead in the netball championship and the Saints move up the basketball championship ladder was halted by the Bulls - also after extra time.

Well in 2024 Wellington in the best regarded domestic and Pacific sport championships still has done and is still doing very well and overall is almost certainly the leading province in NZ sport for 2024.

The Phoenix team stretched their season in the A-League right through to the semi finals. Wellington Firebirds (men) won crickets prestigious 4-day Plunket Shield for the 2023-24 season and the Wellington Blaze (women) won the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield for one-day cricket for yet another season.
