New
lighting has brought a touch of colour to Broadway South in
Stratford.
The recent installation of LED lighting under
the prominent trees framing the southern entrance to town
uses coloured gels which can be changed to suit events or
campaigns being run at the time.
Residents and visitors
alike can expect a show of red, white and blue in the lead
up to Friday, February 24 when Americarna comes to town.
Director Community Services, Kate Whareaitu says this was
one of a number of projects identified as part of the
Stratford 2035 - Future of Broadway project.
“The new
lighting was a win win solution, replacing the old lighting
and also saving costs in power. The coloured gels are an
added bonus, giving us flexibility in decorating Broadway
for events and campaigns,” says Kate.
The project was
funded by the Taranaki Electricity Trust.

would like to see the town supporting should email:
