Work on the Kaipara Butchery has been going all Summer and the exterior is all but finished. The awning has been replaced along with new fascia and tie-rods, which hold the awning up. It was revealed that the roof and framing were too rotten to withstand the force so many timbers and the roof itself have had to be replaced. The work means that the appearance of the Butchery is protected for the future so future generations of residents and visitors can appreciate the charm of the oldest remaining link to the village shops of the past.
