All it needs right now from the UHCC is to promote some conversion of apartmental accommodation to a crop of tired old buildings within the CBD with the council chiming in with free services such as advocacy and advise, a rates holiday and painting and decoration deal with Resenes for owners and blow me down, we have a more vibrant, useful and busy CBD along with some housing/accommodation options not currently available in UH.

The Wellington SPCA is appealing for donations for a puppy recently rescued in Upper Hutt.
At just three months old, Piglet was covered in one of the worst cases of mange the SPCA vets had seen.
Piglet’s skin was red, raw and weeping. Mange is a debilitating skin disease caused by parasitic mites. Left untreated like this, it is horrific and extremely painful.
Found wandering the streets alone, the disease had ravaged Piglet's skin, and she was in significant pain and discomfort.
Her medication is expensive and SPCA vets say she will need a lot of care.

So there is an acute shortage of industrial land within the Greater Wellington area.
Surely Upper Hutt should come to the rescue.
Buoyant at the moment due to a sharp rise in new commercial, recreational and residential activity, Upper Hutt is at last getting its available commercial areas and pockets of land and properties utilised. And this will increase no doubt when a major commercial area in Lower Hutt shuts down through Hutt River flood management procedures.
But commercial does not equate to industrial.
So Upper Hutt with an abundance of land which could be made available for industries, should get going to fulfill such a demand. It can only further advance the new appetite for the positive development of Upper Hutt.
