Unwanted items can help a great cause!

Frances from Silverstream

Spring is here and it is just the right time to declutter, so if you have stuff that you no longer need then do we have a solution for you! We are after good quality second hand goods to sell at our garage sale for the Upper Hutt Animal Rescue Society on November the 17th.
If you have any items you would like to donate, we are open 10am to 2pm during the week, and 10am to 3pm on the weekend at 4 King Charles Drive, Kingsley Heights, Upper Hutt.

UPPER HUTT SETBACKS

Michael from Trentham

Upper Hutt has been on an upward spiral over the last several years not seen to the same extent in Wellington, Lower Hutt, Porirua, Kapiti, Horowhenu and Wairarapa.
But further progress and stretching out the bump in population has come to a stop - albeit temporary.

The bold planning of multi storied apartments on a part of the Trentham Racecourse site accommodating a few thousand people and ensuring the conrinuation of top level racing has been placed on hold. This comes after a glitch of the Silverstream Spur housing development which could draw in several thousand residents. The SS is also likely to evenrually go ahead but not right now.

The one thing publicly announced in the last day is the increase of prison accommodation due to start in the ever growing mini city that is Rimutaka Prison.
This Upper Hutt facility is the largest prison in NZ and harbours thousands of prisoners and over a thousand staff.

Not the kind of progress Upper Hutt really wants though there are good benefits from employment opportunities, ancillary services needed for the prison and demand for local rental properties.
