Road renewal works - Lawn Rd, Mill Rd, Farndon Rd
Due to the deteriorating road conditions (including flushing, rutting and potholes), Hastings District Council (HDC) is proposing to do pavement renewal work on the following sections of road (refer locality map below):
- Lawn Road (between no 249 and Mill Rd/Lawn Rd roundabout)
- Mill Road (between no 78 and Mill Rd/Lawn Rd roundabout)
- Farndon Road (between no 405 and road over rail bridge), including Kahupātiki Marae entrance widening and improvements
The work will involve removing excess layers of chipseal, topping up road gravel, shaping, stabilising, compacting and resealing. All existing driveways will be reinstated on a like-for-like basis and made good to tie in with the new road levels.
Some minor drainage improvements on the verge will also be completed by cutting back roadside vegetation to allow water to drain off the road where required. HDC do not anticipate significant change in final road levels.
If you are a property owner in any of these areas, we welcome your feedback regarding other potential improvements that could be made along these sections of road during the project. To have your say, head to: napier.wufoo.com... or email roadingupdates@hdc.govt.nz
Please submit all feedback by Friday 22 December.
And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
