Toxic Algae has returned to the Hutt River at Silverstream, and Greater Wellington Regional Council is advising against swimming or walking your dog from Moonshine Park to Pomare Bridge.

There’s also new growth at Birchville, Maoribank Corner and Poets Park, though at lower levels. It’s still safe to use those parts of the river, but keep an eye out and avoid any areas where you see toxic algae.

They’re not currently concerned about toxic algae elsewhere in the region.

You’ll see educational signs along the riverbank, warning you to keep an eye out for toxic algae, and you can learn more about it in this video: www.gw.govt.nz...

New Traffic Roundabout in Alexandra Road

John from Silverstream

With all the comments recently regarding the impact on road design in crash reduction I wonder what is the rational behind the placement of the second roundabout in Alexandra Road, Trentham.

It appears to be there solely for the entrance to a new subdivision, such entrance could well be seerved by a "T" intersection with maybe a giveway or stop sign.
To place a rondabout on a curve with limited visibility in a road with an 80K limit simply for access seems an invitastion for disaster.
If I were a betting person I would back the Police having to attend a serious crash at this point within the next twelve months.
Is there another reason for this road hazard?

Poll: Saving our heritage buildings

Matt Tso Reporter from The Hutt News

Petone's historic Oddfellows Hall had no legal protection when it was bowled over by a developer late last year. Do you think the council needs to do more to recognise and protect the Hutt's old buildings?

WASPS MAY BE COMING☀️

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Recent hot and dry weather has provided wasps and their queens with perfect nest building conditions. The downside of this is that this has given the nests a perfect opportunity to survive. It’s quite likely your summer could be disturbed by these stinging pests.
