HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop. The viruses are mostly transmitted in adolescence but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they’re young.
Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV in their lifetime. Immunisation can significantly reduce HPV-related harm. Protecting all children before they’re exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.
Free HPV immunisation at school or from your GP. For more info visit: www.health.govt.nz/hpv

The derelict train carriages left near Upper Hutt Station were towed away to be stored at the Wellington rail yards last week. Do you think it took the Greater Wellington Regional Council too long to take them away?

However, if you are one of the lucky ones, being the owner of your own home grants certain privileges. At Geneva we reward a homeowner’s hard work and good fortune by granting almost guaranteed approval on some of the best loan rates we offer.
Save more on fees and make bulk re-payments against your loan without any penalties. Home renovations, debt consolidation and car purchase loans suddenly make a lot more sense. Contact us today and see how being a homeowner can really help you.

• 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!!!!!
