Does anyone remember Ron Deal?
Hu Neighbourly folk, is there anyone who remembers Ron Deal.
The city council recently opened Ron Deal Way in Epuni – where the Central Park on Copeland development is.
Mrs Gloria Deal (Ron’s wife) was invited to unveil the new street sign.
Ron Deal began his career collecting rates on a bicycle before rising through the Hutt City Council ranks and being appointed Deputy Town Clerk, Town Clerk and Chief Executive.
He was always passionate about Lower Hutt and was especially proud of the work he did on Riddiford Garden and the roads around it.
