The container is part of RiverLink, a joint project to provide better lifestyle, flood protection and transport links for the people of Lower Hutt.
In the coming days there will be coffee carts, food trucks, acoustic music and plenty more onsite. You can see a schedule of what's on at www.riverlink.co.nz....

Three days of clear test results are required before Wellington Water stops the temporary chlorination of the Lower Hutt water supply. As we’ve now had three days of clear testing, the temporary chlorination has now stopped as agreed with Regional Public Health. You may continue to notice a taste or odour in your water for a few more days as the chlorinated water works its way through the reticulated network.
Then join us at Have a Go Day, see poster for details. Come and learn about how public transport has adaptions to help people with mobility or disability issues to access buses, trains and other transport options.

Run by both Hutt and regional councils, along with NZTA, RiverLink is a project looking to create better flood protection and a better lifestyle for residents. Check out the link below and see what's on and how you can have your say in the future of the river. How do you think we should develop alongside the river?
How much do you love dogs? Bruce, a 50 kilogram part Irish wolfhound, is looking for a new home. He's been described as being a bit "chasey" when cats are around but current caretaker Kat Davey said said he just loves everyone. Would you take him on? How do you look after a big dog?
This is because follow-up tests taken after a positive result from a water sample on Friday, showed no e-coli in the water. You may notice the slight smell or taste of chlorine in your water for up to three days after we stop chlorinating.

From 2017, HPV immunisation will be free for everyone aged 9 to 26. That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.

That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.
HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop, the viruses are mostly transmitted by teenagers and young adults but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they are young. Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their life. Protecting children before they are exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.
For more information about HPV immunisation, see www.health.govt.nz/hpv

At this stage the testing laboratory is unable to confirm what caused the initial positive result at the inlet point of Naenae Reservoir on Friday 3 February. Wellington Water will continue investigating possible sources of contamination.
Chlorination of the water supply to all of Lower Hutt will continue until we have completed a full review of test results. This is to ensure we are taking the safest course of action. We’ll provide further updates on the review process tomorrow.
Regional Public Health are satisfied with the measures put in place to ensure the water is safe and there is no need to boil it before drinking.
Hi Everyone, has anyone out there have any kittens needing homes? I'm looking for a little ginger chap needing a forever home.It would be really good if anybody could help me.
