We Say/You Say: Lockdown low-down

Reporter Upper Hutt Leader

Kia ora Upper Hutt,

What has been some good news in your neighbourhood that's happened during the lockdown?

Kia ora neighbours, we're getting a lot of stories about Covid-19 saturating our newsfeed and the media as of late and we're keen on helping put a damper on that. We'd love for you to tell us some of the more light-hearted stories that you think deserve a shoutout.

Maybe it's a community hero that's been helping out those that are self-isolating, something you discovered while out exercising in your bubble, or something you're doing to help pass the time.

Let us know in the comments below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comment featured in the Upper Hutt Leader.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
