Riverton resident Leah Boniface wants Southland District Council to seal the 300m northern section of Palmerston St where she has lived for about 30 years. The gravel road is technically part of the town's main street, but is home to just four houses, sheds, horse stables and land. This month, Boniface told the council in a submission for its long term plan consultation that she was once again asking for improvements to the carriageway. Boniface told Local Democracy Reporting the street had been "overlooked for too long", and questioned if it would ever be sealed.
