Ron Deal began his career collecting rates on a bicycle and being a people person, he revelled in the job – and very much enjoyed the home baking he received along the way.
He rose up through the ranks being appointed Deputy Town Clerk, Town Clerk and finally Chief Executive. He was passionate about Lower Hutt and was especially proud of the work he did on Riddiford Garden and the roads around it.
Home to 34 new townhouses – the Central Park on Copeland development, the new street is home to many new and existing Lower Hutt residents.
The street was unveiled by Ron’s wife Mrs Gloria Deal on the 29th October 2020. i
