A brighter future for upper Hutt
Recent events have transpired to quite quickly and dramatically alter the very near future for Upper Hutt generally speaking.
Housing shortages, immigration influx bought about by the increasing attractiveness of NZ economically and politically and impending roading network improvements ( Transmission Gully, Petone - Grenada motorway) that will bring utilisation of commercial and industrial opportunities in Upper Hutt.
I still lament that the Wellington region has not yet embraced amalgamation which would bring much greater clarity and structure and financial (Govt and private) funding to Upper Hutt and the region.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
