Notice of Proposed Road Name
Uralla Shire Council announces that the following name is proposed for a new road. This is to replace the previously proposed Myrtle Close, which was rejected by the Geographical Names Board, due to a similarly named road in Armidale:
Raymond Close

Raymond was the local builder, sawmiller and undertaker in the business known as CG Cooper and Sons. Raymond assisted to build the Uralla Central School and was the president of the P&C for many years. He was in the Uralla Rotary Club and was awarded the Paul Harris Fellow recognition. He was an active member of the Methodist Church, which then became the Uniting Church, and also a member of every local choir and participated in Mrs O’Malley’s Magnificent Musical Hall.
