SAVE MONEY WITH MORE CYCLEWAYS?

Michael from Trentham

A new candidate for the mayoralty of Upper Hutt has emerged but
I don't think Wayne Guppy is going to have many sleepless nights over this person who wants to save ratepayers money and rates increases such as the whopping 20% proposed for next financial year, and spend rates money more wisely.

See, this "Greenie-type" person happens to pitch for more cycle lanes and not a stoppage on what we have already been lumbered with while jumping on the bandwagon of turning pot holes into pot stands.

Cycle lanes are expensive and I say any more are unwanted for at least the next 30 years. And this coming from not only a cyclist but one who rides a full blown racing cycle.

ROAD SPEED ON THE UP

The Coalition Government is all set to reverse the previous Government's speed reductions on some roads and in the proximity of schools etc as well as going as high as a speed limit from 100km to 120km on some "open"roads.

The Coalition Government is all set to reverse the previous Government's speed reductions on some roads and in the proximity of schools etc as well as going as high as a speed limit from 100km to 120km on some "open"roads.

Well I hope they will instruct the UH City Council to reverse at least in part the speed reduction along Alexander Road from 50km back to 80km. The Council has just been made to look ridiculous in its decision on a road that includes a golf course on one side and a barb wired fenced in military encampment on the other.

Poppa's pulled pork

If you're craving a winter recipe that'll warm you from the inside out, look no further than Brent's irresistible slow-cooked pulled pork. Its smoky, aromatic scent often wafts from Brent’s apartment at Ryman’s Kevin Hickman Village, tempting taste buds and stirring appetites. With its tender meat and velvety sauce, this dish is every bit as delicious as it sounds – you’ll be reaching for seconds, thirds, and maybe even fourths!

Dog dodo

Kathy from Maoribank

What is it with the lazy people who don’t pick up after their dogs when they walk them . It’s disgusting trying to dodge all the poop around the streets and parks. It’s pure laziness. Poop bags don’t cost a lot .
