The Waikato District Council’s project in Raglan’s Long Street is nearing completion. WDC describes the project as “an urbanisation project”. It involved reforming the road, installing gutters, building footpaths and upgrading the storm water pipes. The tender price for the Long Street portion of the upgrade was $288,599.91. The work was undertaken by Base Civil for WDC.
History tells us that Long Street was so named as it was a long way going up the hill.
