We are constructing a 1.8m new footpath on Blake Street, Rangiora between Durham Street and No. 6 Blake Street where the existing footpath ends.
This work is part of the Council’s plan to improve walking connections in our major towns and neighbourhoods.
The work will include
- A 1.8m wide asphalt footpath including tree protection (existing tree located in the berm outside No. 18 shall be retained).
- The new footpath shall be located behind the existing kerb.
Timing of work
Stewart Civil Limited will be commencing the work from the week starting 13 April 2026 and plan for it to be completed by 4 May 2026. All work will be undertaken Monday to Saturday between 7am and 6pm.

General impacts

Notice of changes in traffic management
We will do our best to give you enough notice to adjust to any changes in traffic management, please keep an eye out for more updates.

In the event of bad weather or for unforeseen circumstances, the work may be delayed.
Safety
Please warn your children of the dangers posed by road works. Ensure that they stay well back from the work site and they follow the directions of the workers.
Noise and dirt
Road work is a noisy, dirty business — but please bear with us. We will be doing all we can to minimise the impact on your home/business. Your cooperation and patience will help us get the job done as quickly as possible. All work will be carried out between the stated hours and over week days only to help minimise the impact on the community.
Easy does it
Bitumen, concrete and other road repair materials require a bit of care after they are applied. Please treat all new surfaces with extra care following the completion of this project.
Thank you for your patience while we complete this work. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
