Upper Hutt Lights Up
Upper Hutt has a new night time display object.
It's funny but I mentioned what should happen last year ago on Neighbourly and finally, maybe someone took notice.
Its all about the tallest object in Upper Hutt - no its not a building in the CBD or a tree in Trentham Memorial Park - it's an old but proud chimney.
It is sited within the area that houses Brewtown and so several weeks ago the tall, narrow, ugly by day, concrete smokestack took on a night-time glamour all of its own with large neon lighting proclaiming BREWTOWN running almost from the top to near the bottom.
And guess what - it can change colours too: multi and singularily. A colour or colours to suit the occasion.
Tonight it is purple.
Just maybe it could be symbol of a brighter future for Upper Hutt.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
