Eureka! ELECTION TIME!
This evening I have noted some new names appearing on our pages.
Must be Local Body Election time...
I truly wish to THANK the acknowledgement that there is life beyond the other social media platform.
Please feel free to create an 'Election Group' here on Neighbourly to share your aspirations for our city.
That way you can access all the Upper Hutt communities beyond your 'Neighbours' and 'Nearby Neighbours'.
OR: one can use this page which was set up so we can reach North, South, West and East members in one hit.
Another benefit is that aspirants will only have to answer a question once!
Seems to myself that there are several important issues around this election, so everyone having the same info will be helpful.

WELLINGTON CHAMPION LOCKS UNWANTED
Wellington Lions won the 2024 NPC rugby title and they did it through an unmatched pack of forwards foremost. And in the "engine room" were its outstanding young locks Akira Ieremia (ex St Pats Silverstream) and Hugo Plummer.
Yet neither were selected among the Hurricanes squad with its six locks nor picked up by any of the other franchises - and this includes Australian teams plus Fiji and Pacifica. So these two players who fit the bill in all aspects are not rated among the top 70 locks in three countries plus the smaller Pacific islands.
It simply should not be so.
Ieremia is 1.92m tall and around 120kg. He can also play backrow. Plummer is 1.98m tall and around 120kg.
