Houghton Valley Community Newsletter

Traffic intersection update: We have recently heard from the WCC traffic engineer’s office that a new revised plan for the Houghton Bay Rd / beach intersection will be sent to us next week for the community to comment and have input. When asked when construction will start, Stuart Bullen, team leader traffic, said, “We are looking at starting in June / July time for construction if in agreement with the community”. The consultation process will probably take place somewhere in Houghton Valley, so if you would like to be involved, let us know and we will keep you in the loop.
Seedling and seed exchange at the Community Garden: In a couple of weeks there should be some broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage seedlings to exchange for seeds / seedlings / or for a koha. If you are interested, come down to the community garden on a Sunday afternoon and stay for a cuppa on the camomile lawn.
Resources for Houghton Valley School art class: “We need some old toys (metal if possible but anything considered) to deconstruct and reconstruct; ball bearings, springs, old dvd’s and videos, stereos to pull apart, wire etc. If you think you might have something lurking in your basement/garage please bring it in to school for us to use. Thanks.” – Caroline
A community record: The Houghton Valley Community Facebook Page has had a small makeover. You can see more photos and information on the projects happening in the area.
