Future of historic bridge up for discussion
Cr Angela McLeod is urging Upper Hutt residents to have their say on the future of the historic Howe Truss Bridge at Beechwood Lane, Te Marua.
The Beechwood Lane Bridge is thought to be one of the last remaining original parts of the road that once linked Wellington and the Hutt Valley, with Wairarapa. The route was marched by more than 60,000 troops leaving the Featherston military training camp for the battlefields of World War I.
Councillor Angela McLeod favours keeping the bridge and has said too much of the city's history had already been demolished. The bridge is now on the Remutaka Cycle Trail route and is used by pedestrians and cyclists.
The council meets at 4.30pm Wednesday September 16.
Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
