Cambridge Community Board members will hit the road to catch up with rural residents – but this time instead of visiting several country halls, they will go to just two.
The first will be at Maungatautari Hall on June 6 and will involve Kaipaki, Monavale, Horahora and Roto-o-Rangi residents.

Then on June 20, it will be at Te Miro Hall and involve Whitehall, Fencourt and Karāpiro residents.
Board member Andrew Myers said topics will include road maintenance, rates setting, the enhanced annual plan and the upcoming Long Term Plan.
“But if people can put their burning issues forward, we will try to answer them,” he said.
It will be like the roadshow events held for Ahu Ake – the spatial plan roadshows – with staff and elected members also present.
The change in style comes after numbers at the various halls were down.
Myers said having two big meetings rather than several smaller meetings was a trial worth doing.
Halls will be rotated in future years.
