Local Video Stores

Matt Tso Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

United Video in Lower Hutt is closing down - it's always sad to see a shop close, but it got us wondering. Do you still support your local video shop?

Do you still support your local video shop? Do you have any fond memories of hiring out the latest movies, or maybe one of the old classics? Did your family have a ritual - maybe popping down on a Friday night to pick a film and grab some fish and chips for tea? Feel free to let us know in the comments below.

Toxic Algae has returned to the Hutt River at Silverstream, and Greater Wellington Regional Council is advising against swimming or walking your dog from Moonshine Park to Pomare Bridge.

There’s also new growth at Birchville, Maoribank Corner and Poets Park, though at lower levels. It’s still safe to use those parts of the river, but keep an eye out and avoid any areas where you see toxic algae.

They’re not currently concerned about toxic algae elsewhere in the region.

You’ll see educational signs along the riverbank, warning you to keep an eye out for toxic algae, and you can learn more about it in this video: www.gw.govt.nz...

New Traffic Roundabout in Alexandra Road

It appears to be there solely for the entrance to a new subdivision, such entrance could well be seerved by a "T" intersection with maybe a giveway or stop sign.
To place a rondabout on a curve with limited visibility in a road with an 80K limit simply for access seems an invitastion for disaster.
If I were a betting person I would back the Police having to attend a serious crash at this point within the next twelve months.
Is there another reason for this road hazard?
