Tell us what you think of Main St?

Reporter Community News

Hopefully you will have seen the recent story in the Upper Hutt Leader about the future of Main St.
Upper Hutt Mayor Wayne Guppy said all options, including apartments, are on the table for the future development of Main Street. A recent social media post by Marita Manns Maass resulted in a wide ranging discussion on the future of the main shopping street.
Maass, who described the "street as a dog's breakfast" suggested the council should look to Europe for design inspiration and for ways to reduce the number of empty shops.
Ideas suggested included making the street pedestrian only.
Tell us what you would like to see done with the street to make it more attractive.
If you do not want your comments used by Stuff put NFP.
The picture is of Gething Motors in 1963.

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?
