What will the new expressway bypassing Levin mean for town businesses?
Morning neighbours,
Wednesday's funding announcement brings certainty and timeframes for land and home owners in the likely corridor for the Ōtaki to north of Levin expressway.
The improved highway south is expected to add to the town's desirability as a place to live, but will it mean for businesses that will miss out on the through-traffic? Do you think many shops and trades depend on commuters and travellers who currently pass through the Levin? Or do think the CBD essentially serves local residents?
Lest we forget...
On this ANZAC Day, let's take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.
Tell us who are you honouring today. Whether it's a story from the battlefield or a memory of a family member who fought in the war, we'd love you to share your stories below.
