NZTA has finished building physical safety improvements between Masterton and Carterton. There’s a new wire median barrier and three roundabouts.
Flynn says locals have been campaigning for the roundabouts to be built for decades. There’s still some debate on what the speed limit should be.
And Kiwirail is upgrading all 30 railway level crossings in Wairarapa, in advance of new faster trains coming to the region.
Also the GP shortage in Wairarapa means that all three medical centres in Masterton are not taking any new patients.
