Most disappointing amenities in Upper Hutt

Michael from Pinehaven

1/SILVERSTREAM'S MCDONALD'S.Thoughts were that this was to be a state of the art McDonald's but instead its a boring boxy establishment. The burnt-down McDonald's on the same site was much better and came with a cafe garden.
2/ MONTERAY MOVIE COMPLEX. Comfortable theatres but services, high costs and lack lustre restaurant/cafe leave much to be desired.
3/ NEW RETAIL STORE IN CBD. This replacement for the burnt-down Hallensteins shop is just a single storey thus missing the opportunity to create apartments above the retail space and set-up the CBD for a mix of retail etc and accommodation/living quarters.
4/ THE MALL. Third rate and so does not provide for an exciting, creative and interesting place to visit that set's it apart from others.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
