Soap Opera in Upper Hutt
Almost all (if not all) the public toilets in Upper Hutt do not have a soap dispenser and hand wiping paper or an air dryer..
The same cannot be said of Lower Hutt and in other parts of the Wellington region and most elsewhere in NZ.
I am very happy for some of the rates I pay to go towards providing soap at public toilets in Upper Hutt.
I don't believe that vandalism will be any higher for soap dispensers than they are for toilet tissues and tissue dispensers and water taps.
It is a well publicised fact that water - especially cold water - does not remove all the germs when washing ones hands so soap of certain quality standards needs to be applied first. So in regard to this the UH City Council is acting disgracefully.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
34% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
66% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
