Work begins on Wainuiomata dog park

Reporter Community News

Lower Hutt Mayor Campbell Barry and Wainuiomata Ward Councillor Keri Brown have turned the first sod to mark the start of work on the Wainuiomata dog park.
Campbell Barry says he is delighted to see work starting on the park, and is looking forward to seeing dog owners from across the city using the space later this year.
“The new park is going to be a great asset for all dog owners right across Lower Hutt. It’s fantastic to celebrate this milestone, particularly with the Waiu Dog Park Committee who have been working hard behind the scenes,” says Campbell Barry.

in need of Hydrangeas for wedding

Linda from Avalon

Hello everyone
My daughter is getting married this Saturday 28th February and the venue was battered by the storm and destroyed a lot of the flowers we were allowed to use. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has any green white or baby pink hydrangeas in their garden that they wouldn't mind parting with ?
Would be very much appreciated

Thank you
Linda
