Streetlights around Te Aroha

We are aware of streetlights not working around Whitaker Street, Rewi Street, August Street, Wild Street, King Street and Burke Street in Te Aroha. We have logged these issues with our streetlight contractor and will let you know when we have a timeframe for repairs.

Temporary road closures

Bossons Road, Te Aroha

Due to heavy rain, water supply works that were going to take place on the berm now require a one way closure of Bossons Road in Te Aroha. While this closure is in place you will not be able to enter Bossons Road from Grattan Road, but it is still accessible from the Gordon Ave end. The one way closure may last until 8 August when the works are scheduled to finish, however if the ground dries out the works may be able to move back to the berm.
