Look at the new signs which will be going up in Cambridge soon. Particularly thrilled to see Lake Te Kō Utu showcasing the ‘wash bowl’ and a community facility. Kingi Tāwhiao and many hapū camped at Lake Te Kō Utu when the Native Land Court was sitting in Cambridge. Following the land wars and the confiscation of 1.2 million acres Tāwhiao sought the return of whenua. Lake Te Kō Utu was a place of solace and symbolical healing as he and the people prayed and washed away the pain and grief of land loss. Waipā District Council Cambridge News NZ
Cambridge entrances to get a revamp
Cambridge’s four main town entrances will receive a makeover.
The four sites where visitors are welcomed to Cambridge have been identified as needing an upgrade. They sites include Hamilton Road, Victoria Street, Tirau Road and Cambridge Road.
Our town signs have needed a revamp for some time now. Cambridge is growing rapidly and we want our signage to reflect our town and community.
Four images, chosen by Council staff and the Cambridge Community Board, have been selected to represent the town:
* Leamington Band Rotunda representing the towns architectural heritage being built in 1910
* Victoria Bridge representing the structure connecting the two sides of the Waikato river
* Lake Te Kō Utu showcasing the ‘wash bowl’ and a community facility
* Rowing on Karāpiro showcasing one of our world champion facilities and sports represented here.
