Wellington can thank Upper Hutt
So Wellington is the fourth most liveable city in the world.
Great.
But in gaining this status Wellington can also thank its immediate neighbouring cities and areas to its north accessible to a large degree by suburban rail including Upper Hutt and Martnborough.
Upper Hutt is in the throws of becoming more valuable and recognisible in this modern era as an adjunct to the Capital. There is Brewtown now and the yet to be completed sports campus and movie production facility. And in Martinborough and other parts of the Wairarapa there is world class wine production on a notable scale. All these things plus the attraction of beaches on the Kapiti Coast, help to make Wellington what it is.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
