Is it time for a new Upper Hutt mayor?
Hey Neighbourly folk, what are your thoughts on the mayoralty? Is it a time for a change?
Please tell us what you think and put NFP if you do not want your comments used.
The race is on for the Upper Hutt mayoralty with three term councillor Angela McLeod, confirming she is again taking on incumbent Wayne Guppy.
In 2019, Mcleod came within 2000 votes of Guppy, who is now seeking his eighth term.
McLeod believes that she could have pushed Guppy closer in 2019, if it were not for the presence of a third candidate, Steve Taylor, who received 2,735 votes.
This time, Taylor says he will not be standing and is not aware of anyone else likely to do so.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
