Santa Parade || We need you!
It's that time of year again as float registrations are now open for the 2021 Upper Hutt Santa Parade! It's time to celebrate ‘The magic of Christmas!' 🎁🎅🏼
Do you remember Christmas time as a child? The excitement? The anticipation? The Christmas season seems to carry it’s own sense of magic and wonder—and that’s our theme for this year. The parade will make its way down Main Street on Sunday 5 December from 3.00 pm.
There is a $1,000 prize for the float that best reflects the ‘Magic of Christmas’ theme, and a $250 prize for the People’s Choice Award, voted for by the public on our Facebook page in the week following the parade.
To register, please head to: www.upperhuttcity.com/Community/Events/Santa-Parade
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?
