Beltway Cycleway: Community Open Session, Saturday 25 February

Hutt City Council

We love cycling here in the Hutt and on Saturday 25 February we want to tell you about a new cycleway we're proposing. It's called the Beltway and will provide a connection between residential areas, workplaces, the hospital, public transport, schools, the CBD and shopping centres. We want to use the rail corridor to create a cycling 'spine', extending between Seaview and Taita. It will also link to the Wainuiomata shared pathway, the Eastern Bays shared pathway and Hutt River Trail.

Come along to our open session on Saturday 25 February to hear more and share your feedback on our plans. Drop in anytime from 11am to 2pm at The Dowse Art Museum, 45 Laings Road (James Coe 2 meeting room). See you there!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
