A house has been removed from Aniseed Grove to create access to a new subdivision.
Yet another demo of considering the lack of infrastructure to cope!.
The buildings are in the process of being stripped down to clear the site.
For myself ... no-one can remove the actual memories thank goodness.

We plan for ten years into the future based on the needs and aspirations of our community. We review these plans every three years to make sure any changing or emerging needs are taken into account. We now want to check in with you, to understand what’s important to you, and what you think we should focus on.
We have drafted a Sustainability Strategy and now we need your help. As a member of the Upper Hutt community, it’s important that you tell us what you think. We’ve proposed goals that we believe will set Upper Hutt on the right path to minimise our environmental impact, maximise remedial action, and role model sustainable community living.
This strategy belongs to everyone, so we want to make sure that our plans meet your expectations.
By taking time to engage with us, you are helping to create a better city for current and future generations to live in.
As more people begin to self isolate and distance themselves, we'll need our neighbours support now more than ever before. The following can be printed at home and filled-in with your details to drop around your street or community.

Supply from rivers in Wainuiomata has dropped out, and now we’re using a lot more water from our storage lakes.
Lake usage has averaged about 41MLD over the last week, and levels have dropped 9% in the last week.
Catchments are still very dry, and there isn’t much rain on the forecast! Please continue to observe water restrictions until they come off, and of course, always use water wisely.

Perhaps you’re teaching yourself to code, or maybe you’ve enrolled in an evening class or online course to help your employment prospects. It might have been something you did with your employer’s blessing, or maybe you’ve struck out on your own.
Maybe you’ve struggled to find work and did it as a way to get back on the career ladder, or perhaps you’re concerned about the pace of change in your field and want to stay ahead.
