Poll: What is your priority for council?
Lower Hutt residents are divided over whether repairs to the earthquake-damaged Petone Wharf should be fast-tracked, but there appears to be strong support in the community for the rebuilding of Naenae pool.
That was the result of submissions made to the council's long term
draft long term plan. The council has proposed increasing rates by an average of 5.9 per cent next year so it can move forward with an ambitious plan to boost spending on infrastructure.
The council has suggested spending up to $68 million on a full upgrade of the quake-prone Naenae pool and another $20m over the next three years on refurbishing and strengthening the Petone Wharf.
