H2O Xtream needs costly upgrade
An "outdated” aquatic centre where 23 children fell ill needs millions of dollars worth of upgrades and maintenance work to bring it up to standard.
Upper Hutt City Council is proposing a full upgrade of H2O Xtream Aquatic Centre at a cost of $17.5m over the next decade.
Eleven children were hospitalised and many others required medical attention on April 1 following a chlorine-related incident at the facility.
“The facility is ageing; it requires a lot of expensive, ongoing maintenance and needs a complete overhaul,” according to the council’s Long Term Plan 2021-2031, which has gone out for consultation.
Do you agree with the council spending millions on the pool.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
