Lower Hutt's state flats known as 'the Bronx' up for refurbishment
Two new apartment blocks are being planned for the Kāinga Ora (Housing) flats at the eastern end of Jackson St, Petone, known locally as “the Bronx” which have been under refurbishment since last year.
The flats most recently came to national attention on 2018 when drug-dealing pensioner Frank Tyson was killed and beheaded with a bread knife by Eugene Baker in a turf dispute.
Hutt South MP Ginny Andersen said the complex was in need of attention.
“As long as I can remember it’s been neglected.”
She was pleased residents and the wider community were being consulted on the new development. The complex needed to be more than just a roof over people’s heads, but a place where people could be comfortable and be part of a community.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
