Hi neighbours,

How about those Phoenix?!

The Wellington Phoenix came from behind to beat the Mariners on the weekend to extend their unbeaten record to eight games - their best ever run in their history. Saturday's game also saw our Kiwi A-League team play in front of ​10,186 spectators - their best crowd in recent years.

New coach Mark Rudan has been widely credited with rejuvenating the team - read his passionate post-game thoughts here.

Did you head along to the stadium to support the boys on the weekend?

Are you back on the bandwagon? Or did you never get off?

Recycling: here we go again?

Upper Hutt: Wider Community Connectivity

upperhuttcity.com...
Please take a minute or two to view the latest saga, and have your say.
IMHO manufacturers should not be allowed to package in plastics with a recycling grade of 3 or higher if it all ends up in the landfill.
Anyway ... show Council we care and take the opportunity to speak up.

Hi neighbours,

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?

Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.

For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?

What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?
