Upper Hutt In Need of Spruce Up
Upper Hutt could be a whole lot more attractive than it is.
It has plenty of parks and reserves and grassy areas but it cannot be termed a "Garden City".
It's street roads are becoming second rate if not already and this is not a good sign.
Pride is missing.
Almost all the non-sports grassy grounds/parks are weedy and not carefully or more regularly mowed. Attention should be paid to make all grassy areas look well cared for and inviting. The contractors engaged for mowing by council fall short in quality of equipment and personnel to those who are engaged by private companies.
I spent a over a week in the Hawkes Bay just recently and all its parks and grassy greens I saw and walked on were carefully manicured and weed-free.
Many street roads in Upper Hutt are in need of resurfacing and repairing and the material and methods used should be of a higher quality than most of our roading has been enduring. Most people would like smooth roading that is better for vehicles, e-scooters, bikes and people on foot and that lasts longer before repairing or resurfacing is required.
