Should Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt merge?

Hi all, thank you so much for your comments on this issue. It's certainly been a lively debate. Comments are now closed on this topic.
With the news of Wairarapa's three councils possibly merging into one super-council, do you think Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt should follow suit and merge? Why or why not? Comments may be used in the Upper Hutt Leader unless you state otherwise with NFP (not for print)

Poll: Should you ask before planting tall shrubs/trees near your property line?

It may be fine now but in a few years trees can block out light or views for neighbours.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?
