• My recent experience of the Upper Hutt City Council and the validity of the information that they disseminate is that they a have questionable relationship with the truth and a hard time being accountable to the people they serve.
• Can we see the report? Perhaps someone could request a copy under the official information act?
• I expect a review of the changes to the Library layout and the removal of genre from fiction, to go ahead regardless of the outcomes to the Library building.
• The systems and process changes (so called philosophical trend) that was forced on Library members should be opened to public scrutiny and opinion.
I like many others wonder what this means for the other Civic buildings. Given their age I wonder how safe they are and whether or not they are able to be bought up to code? I also wonder if Council have been aware of the circumstances for years and for both political and fiscal reasons have been hoping it might be ok or all go away?
I am pleased to see how many Upper Hutt people love and value their Library! Not just to read a book but also to enjoy the experience of library.
On my part, I am glad the closure will mean an hiatus to the indiscriminate sale of book stocks.
Some reference and non-fiction volumes I have seen offered for sale, have been valuable definitive works of their kind. It looks to me like a book is only valuable if it is taken out X number of times in a given time frame and the value of its content is not counted – expensive near new books sold for a few dollars.
Indicative and symptomatic of nonqualified staff versus a degree holding Librarian who understands the value of books contents.
See you all at Lower Hutt Library!!!!!
Riding a motorcycle or scooter inevitably carries more risk than driving a four-wheeled vehicle. And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)

And it turns out quite a lot of us have someone close to us who rides (in fact, 48% of Neighbourly members!)
If you worry about their safety, there is something you can do: encourage them to take Ride Forever coaching, provided (and heavily subsidised) by ACC. It's delivered by experts and it works, as Simon Gotlieb's story shows. Neighbourly members can book a FREE Ride Forever course before 31 March using promo code NEIGH18 over here.

From weeks on end of blistering hot days to calamitous cyclones, we've pretty much had it all this summer. The extreme temperatures in some parts are in stark contrast to other storm-battered coastal zones Tell us how summer's been in your area.
It was a fair bit of weather and some of us are still feeling the effects. Did you do anything to prepare?
How was Gita for you?
