Surely Upper Hutt should come to the rescue.
Buoyant at the moment due to a sharp rise in new commercial, recreational and residential activity, Upper Hutt is at last getting its available commercial areas and pockets of land and properties utilised. And this will increase no doubt when a major commercial area in Lower Hutt shuts down through Hutt River flood management procedures.
But commercial does not equate to industrial.
So Upper Hutt with an abundance of land which could be made available for industries, should get going to fulfill such a demand. It can only further advance the new appetite for the positive development of Upper Hutt.

2 x 9kg LPG gas bottles. One is new the other not so new. $50 for both. Both has a little bit of gas in them. Pick up Upper Hutt.
The fridge is in excellent condition. No scratches or dents. Unfortunately the tray in the freezer is cracked and two of the trays in the door are cracked (courtesy of heavy handed flatmates) but they are easy enough to replace.

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

It's taken seven years, but it was worth the wait. Have you tried them?

I realise it is not Wednesday but on such a special day, I thought I would ask Neighbourly users for their memories.

"A visit to Silverstream yesterday afternoon to see if I could find some kingfishers and I was rewarded by the sight of several of them on powerlines, swooping down to grab tasty morsels, but couldn't get close enough to any of them to get decent shots so these photos are heavily cropped. At one point a kingfisher was sharing his line with a huge group of Starlings! I loved watching the two magpies displaying teamwork when tearing at a clump of grasses! As I walked through St Pats, the sparrows were enjoying a dustbath!"
