Mayor Urges Retailer Support During High St Upgrade

Tararua mayor Maureen Reynolds is calling for some retailer support at the northern end of Dannevirke whilst the High St Refurbishment Project is in progress.


“Retailers are experiencing a downturn in business and I ask the public to make every effort to shop at these premises,” she said.


Businesses from west side Gordon to Allardice Streets have been in the grip of a major infrastructural upgrade prior to the above ground landscaping that will herald the long awaited ‘new look’ for the town.


Access to shops has been hampered as a result despite contractor’s best efforts to keep disruption to a minimum.


Mrs Reynolds said she hoped contractors would stop work early in December so that visitors and locals could shop without disruption in the weeks approaching Christmas.
