Mayor Wayne Guppy believes the Wellington region has suffered for not having a decent-sized indoor venue. What do you think? Do we need one or is it a waste of money?

The obscure (in New Zealand) sport has been around for more than 100 years and is like cross country running on bikes.
What's more, Upper Hutt has it's own series and is home to Kim Hurst, the Elite New Zealand women's champion.

Most of us will never get THIS upclose with those buzzy pollinators, so we thought you might enjoy this gallery.
Hello neighbours, here's a look at some new plants out in garden centres this month.

Outlaw phantom. Don’t miss Delaney Davidson, one of the most distinctive figures in the NZ music landscape. Known for his hypnotic and original ‘One Man and his Ghost Orchestra’ show, his compelling live performances present jarring yet beautiful songs which command the shadowy musical world of ‘Country-Noir’ and ‘Gothic Americana’.

A senior couple paid Air NZ $1500 for a mystery trip. The trip turned out to be the southern city of Invercargill. I would have been slightly annoyed that it wasn't for instance, Queenstown, but i am sure I would have found something that allowed me to have a pleasant time in a city I have … View moreA senior couple paid Air NZ $1500 for a mystery trip. The trip turned out to be the southern city of Invercargill. I would have been slightly annoyed that it wasn't for instance, Queenstown, but i am sure I would have found something that allowed me to have a pleasant time in a city I have never actually been to - and I have been to Queenstown several times.
So the couple complained and got their money back.
What if the couple had found themselves in the city of Upper Hutt and were told that the rules of the mystery trip was that they could not travel to anywhere else but Upper Hutt? Could they have had a great time in a "great" city?
Well they could visit Staglands which is a kind of rugged farmland zoo, they would have to go to Expressions because this place is compulsory viewing. Oh, yes, it might be happiness if their trip coincides with a race day at Trentham, but olay, we now have this craft beer tour and I believe that one of the four craft beer establishments we currently have, now has food available. They could take a walk around Trentham Memorial Park if they are dog fanciers. If the couple are looking for fine dining or a four-five star accommodation then they are probably stretching their luck though Wallaceville House is the best we can offer. And we do have some cafes who give you real Wellington quality coffee. And when its open there is the Devonshire tea barn in Te Marua where their scones are so good that it's a compulsive stop for circuit cyclists.
Is Upper Hutt a better city to visit than Invercargill? Tim Shadbolt would say no.
Hi Team,
What else would you like to see the council doing for the community?
The Library and recycling arguments aside that is. I have an issue with cars being parked all over footpaths and berms when we have some of the widest streets in the Wellington Area.

What else would you like to see the council doing for the community?
The Library and recycling arguments aside that is. I have an issue with cars being parked all over footpaths and berms when we have some of the widest streets in the Wellington Area.
Our services run under the berms and footpaths and these lazy people who park like this are risking damaging them and causing ratepayer high costs to repair them, aside from that i feel it looks ugly.
What do you think?
Our biosecurity officers do a lot more then just protect our native environment. They are out there talking to the backyard protectors of tomorrow! Two of our team recently visited Plateau School where they talked pests, predators and what happens when you put a banana in a trap...
Has someone lost a big tabby cat in Perry St area? Unfortunately found deceased in Home of Compassion car park. Looks like a special breed.
Hi neighbors!
Does anyone know of anyone who might be able to provide Russian lessons (within the Hutt / Wellington area)? Really keen to learn.
Thanks! Спасибо!

There is a process that has to be followed and I will keep you up to date as events unfold. I am attaching the summary of stats from the three sources of information: Facebook survey/poll, Neighbourly survey/poll and oral interviews with visitors to the Recycle Depot itself. It is only 2 pages!!!
I think I can safely say this report is already in the hands of significant individuals.
