Is housing intensification good for Lower Hutt?

Reporter Community News

Neighbours in Raukawa St, Stokes Valley, have raised the alarm over housing developments that will add 110 dwellings to the dead-end street that has fewer than 100 houses on it.
Development is changing Lower Hutt but not everybody thinks it is a good idea.
What do you think? Do we need more intensification?
Tell us what you think and please remember to put NFP if you do not want Stuff to use your comments.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
