Soap Opera in Upper Hutt
Almost all (if not all) the public toilets in Upper Hutt do not have a soap dispenser and hand wiping paper or an air dryer..
The same cannot be said of Lower Hutt and in other parts of the Wellington region and most elsewhere in NZ.
I am very happy for some of the rates I pay to go towards providing soap at public toilets in Upper Hutt.
I don't believe that vandalism will be any higher for soap dispensers than they are for toilet tissues and tissue dispensers and water taps.
It is a well publicised fact that water - especially cold water - does not remove all the germs when washing ones hands so soap of certain quality standards needs to be applied first. So in regard to this the UH City Council is acting disgracefully.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
0% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
0% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
