CAFES NEW & COMING
People living in Upper Hutt esp in Trentham/Wallaceville will have three new public-welcoming cafes to sip their fav coffee and eat a delightful cake while soaking in the atmosphere each one presents.
Open right now is Cafe Tuki which lies in the heart of the NZ Sports Institute complex in Heretaunga. Cafe Tuki is open Mon-Fri 8am-2pm.
Soon to be open - almost certainly within the next few weeks - are the cafe at the large Classic Cars display complex off Alexander Road, Trentham and the cafe on the ground floor of the Buddle Building in the Blue Mountains Campus, Wallaceville.
All three are within a radius of 1.5 km.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
