The Lower Hutt CBD is set to be very busy over the next few days

Hutt City Council

It’s all happening in the Hutt!
If you’re coming to the CBD over coming days, especially during the weekend, please expect there to be lots more traffic on the roads and for there to be delays. It’s awesome that Lower Hutt is attracting new business and events but it does mean during opening days and event weekends we need to expect more cars and for it to take longer to get around. Over the next few days there will also be restrictions on access to the northern end of the Riverbank Car Park because of the events happening.
This weekend is a perfect time to consider public transport or parking a little further away than you usually do and walking to where you need to go…especially if this beautiful weather holds out.
Because H&M is set to be so popular, Queensgate Shopping Centre has also put special measures in place to keep cars moving in their car park but due to the buzz around H&M there may be unavoidable congestion. You can follow the Queensgate facebook page for shopping updates.
Please take care on the roads, be patient and make the most of being part of a city where things are happening.

Rear end of car bumped at Moonshine/Fergusson traffic lights - was this you?

She kindly chased after me until I stopped down the road - she asked if I was the red car she'd hit at the traffic lights - I hadn't felt the bump (duhh?) and we both quickly checked but, in the dimming light, couldn't see any apparent damage. HOWEVER on Thursday, I noticed on the lower left-hand side of my rear bumper, there is DAMAGE and it must be the damage done on Monday evening - nothing else could be responsible.
I'm not hugely computer savvy so am sorry I can't include a photo of the damage which isn't huge (possibly why I didn't feel the bump?) but it needs fixing.
I am hoping that the conscientious young woman - or someone who knows her - will please contact me so that we can sort out repair via insurance. Please help me find her. Many thanks.
