Here's Lower Hutt's Town Hall in 1914. The Council leased the building opposite Andrews Ave from 1908. The Town Hall building was damaged in a big earthquake in 1942 and in 1943 they moved into the old Post Office building on the corner of High Street and Laings Road. The current Town Hall building was opened in April 1957. #eventscentreopening

Almost all (if not all) the public toilets in Upper Hutt do not have a soap dispenser and hand wiping paper or an air dryer..

The same cannot be said of Lower Hutt and in other parts of the Wellington region and most elsewhere in NZ.
I am very happy for some of the rates I pay to go towards providing soap at public toilets in Upper Hutt.
I don't believe that vandalism will be any higher for soap dispensers than they are for toilet tissues and tissue dispensers and water taps.
It is a well publicised fact that water - especially cold water - does not remove all the germs when washing ones hands so soap of certain quality standards needs to be applied first. So in regard to this the UH City Council is acting disgracefully.
