Plans are well underway for the official opening of Te Puke’s new heritage walkway on Friday, 2 December.

The walkway is part of the Town Centre Development Plan adopted by Council in 2007.

Focus Te Puke spokesperson Mark Boyle says the walkway, in conjunction with the new building for the jewellery shop, has been welcomed by the local business community.

“Te Puke locals are upbeat and positive about this first step in the town centre development. With plans for an upgrade of Jubilee Park facilities and the progression of a new commercial development in 2012, Te Puke is seen as being proactive for growth and development into the years ahead,” says Mark.

The Heritage Walkway project entails a walkway from Jellicoe Street to Commerce Lane and the installation of a pedestrian strip from the walkway across Commerce Lane on to Jubilee Park.

Keep an eye on next Wednesday’s (23 November) edition of the Te Puke Times for more information about activities you can enjoy and be part of at the opening on 2 December.
