She says while the Boys Brigade members will sleep on the floor of the church, she and others will be in tents out on the grounds of the church. ‘‘This is the first time Ihave undertaken this type of sponsored fundraising. ‘‘I used to see members of congregations doing it in England in past years, sleeping on pavements while raising funds for those in need, but this will be afirst for me.’’ Margaret says she is under no illusions about how cold it will be, and says she has plenty of blankets and clothing layers to keep her warm during her night fundraiser. ‘‘It’s going to happen rain or shine, frost or snow, I'll be there.’’ The retired school teacher says she intends to put up her tent on Friday Wrapped up warm ...

Chief executive Will Doughtysaid a paper willbepresented to the council meeting at thisend of the month, as staff work on adraftspeedmanagement plan for the district. ‘‘Ourteam has beenworking with a Waka Kotahi representative to undertake aspeed management review and we are puttingforward some suggestions. ‘‘It is mainly aroundreducingspeeds on unsealed roads and around schools and havingappropriate speeds.’’ Speedlimits on unsealed roadswill be reduced from 100kph to 80 or 60kph, whilespeed limitsaround schools and the hospital will reduceto30kph, Mr Doughty says. As apopular tourist town,Kaikōura attracted alarge number of visitors who were unfamiliar withlocalroads. It is particularly for people who don’tknow thoseroads, like the Puhi Valley Road wherethere are campsites,’’ he says. ‘‘People tend to drive to the conditions or the speedlimits and if people aren’t capable of driving to the higher speeds then the speed limits need to be looked at.’’ Mr Doughtysaid the council planned to consult on the draft Kaikōura Speed Management Plan beforepresentingitto Waka Kotahi later in the year.
