Work will finish in May.

Meanwhile Jayco Huxtable, 8, of Leamington Primary School and Milah Hotene, 11, who has recently started at Cambridge Middle School took in the view from the top of the two-storey, octagonal band rotunda built in 1910 and moved from the corner of Bracken St and Te Awamutu Rd to Leamington in 1921 to prevent vandalism.
