Is Upper Hutt losing its shine
It is patently obvious to me that the UH City Council has tightened its budget on city-wide maintenance. Streets with their pavements and grass berms and vegetation which encroaches onto the pavement are been neglected and recreational areas such as the Trentham Park are not at all as well maintained as was the case a couple of years ago.
Another good example are street lights - where previously a phone call regarding a lamp failure would have had a on-the-job response within a few days it seems now to take several weeks.
Also some recent resealing of roading has left much to be desired.
I'd prefer good maintenance of our streets to an elaborate library. The main library in Lower Hutt could be ditched for a "suburban" version and UH people directed to the main library of Lower Hutt.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
