EASING THE PAIN

I live next to a park, which is increasing in popularity capped with a growing population. Every day at least one child falls off a bike or scooter while riding along the footpath. And which area of their body is most likely at the receiving end - their knees of course.
There is pain, crying, tears, bruises and sometimes blood.
What to do as a preventative measure? Knee pads of course. The kind kids use for skate boarding.

My wife disagrees. Who would wear them? They get in the way if they want to visit the playground and wearing knee pads would interfere in riding a bike riding she says.

KEPT IN DARK OR JUST A PIPE DREAM

Someone or some people are responsible inside and/or connected with the Upper Hutt City Council for the state of affairs that currently point to an infrastructure fallout.

Whilst millions and millions of dollars from rates have gone on sports facilities and an upgraded public swimming pool we didn't really need/could do without, our basic water supply to residents is drying up and draining away from a pipe system that has been in a dire state for years and years.

Has any councillor including Mayor and Deputy Mayor past and present alerted the city and us in the city to this and thus opposed any major non-emergency undertakings by Council?

Has any staff person or Council-contracted company or individual made serious overtures to the mayor and his Councillors over the years as to the state of play as the Council ticked-off another non-urgent, not really required amenity completed or on its way to construction?

Mayor Wayne Guppy seemed genuinely shocked that Upper Hutt is the worse-off area in the region for a leaking water supply system in a region that is harbouring such a severely serious and expensive issue. At first - only a couple of months age - Guppy just wouldn't accept the assessment.

Meanwhile a 24/7 water leak in busy Ward Street which went unfixed for almost 4 months, has now been seemingly repaired. Perhaps it was just a faulty or disintegrated toby.

Heads should roll over this.
