(Re) Name that Road

20 Jul 2023 • By Deborah Christiansen Share:

Does Cambridge need this Cambridge road?

Hamilton Road-Cambridge Road – is it time to re-name the section from Vogel Street to the expressway as Hamilton Road? We already have Cambridge Road going from Leamington to Te Awamutu and there’s Cambridge Road going through Hillcrest… that’s confusing enough.

Forrest Road and Hannon Road were both re-named recently and everyone has adapted. Before the new development opposite Te Awa really takes off it would seem to be an opportune time to reduce the confusion. I am sure the Emergency Services would appreciate a change. What do other readers think?
