Upper Hutt On The Up

Michael from Trentham

Blue Mountains Campus in Wallaceville has finally a third tenant.

Silicon - a prominent IT security and management company has joined MBIE and KiwiRail in the Buddle Building which is part of this large commercial complex.

It is expected that TransDec will move part of its operation to the Campus before the end of the year.

The Lane Street (movie and tv) Studios is now at full throttle in multiple productions.

Hitting the news tonight is the world class NZCIS in Heretaunga. The first All Blacks squad under Scott Robertson are training there as well as being accommodated within the complex which can house 400 stay-at guests.

TV One noted that the All Blacks plan to utilise the facility as often as needed and that 3 NRL clubs based in Australia have booked to use the facility for their squads (most likely for pre-season purposes) and that the Australian women's football team, the Matildas has also made a booking. It won't be long and this facility will be in great demand and by a host of different sports codes not only within NZ. Basketball and netball facilities are to be added.

At present the most notable regular users are the Hurricanes rugby teams, the Phoenix football teams and the senior Wellington Rugby Union rep teams.

HAS CNN GOT IT RIGHT

Michael from Trentham

Set the scene:

CNN today showed a preview of a movie about reforming Pope Francis and the clips ended with a riled up Pope raising his voice to a person - maybe a Bishop or Cardinal - inside the Vatican in Rome.

Immediately after this came on screen the headline: SINNER LEADS ITALY TO WIN IN DAVIS CUP.

Jannik Sinner is a member of the Italian tennis team.

Gave me a laugh.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
