Stream erosion to be tackled
Serious erosion on Raumanga Stream's riverbank at the end of Te Mai Rd, next to Hora Hora School, will be repaired over the next two weeks. Contractors JAS Civil Ltd have designed a fix that will see Clements Contracting rebuild the side of the riverbank with big rocks. The work is being done now because it is the school holidays. During the work the walkway and access to the school will be closed.
