"Siam came in my cat door six years ago with this sponge in his mouth and dropped it at my feet as a gift for me. His owner gave him to me because he just refused to go and six years on, he still brings the same sponge to me every night. I'm pretty sure it is the equivalent of roses in his mind."

But they are not just there for fun, but to improve their brains.
Dancing has so many beneficial effects on the brain that it is now being used to treat people with Parkinson’s disease, which affects about 1 in 500 Kiwis.
“Motion is lotion, getting people moving is really important,” dance leader and physiotherapist Rachel Horwell said.
What do you do to keep fit and stimulate your brain?
Kia ora Upper Hutt,
What's your opinion on street art? Are there any spots in your community that could do with a mural?

What's your opinion on street art? Are there any spots in your community that could do with a mural?
Construction sites and other disused structures around Wellington are getting facelifts, with local artists putting their touch on areas in a state of flux.
Wellington based artists Xoë Hall, Miriama Grace-Smith and Gina Kiel make up part of the Love Local: City Artwork initiative, with their work set to add vibrancy to revamps around the city.
The collaboration between Wellington City Council and WellingtonNZ has $60,000 which covers printing, installation and commission.

"Change to opening hours at the Upper Hutt Police Station"
From 17 May 2021 the opening hours at Upper Hutt Police Station will be changing.
The station will now be open from 9:00am until 5:00pm on weekdays and closed at the weekend.
The decision to change the opening hours was made after an operational review and has been driven by declining demand for service at the front counter in the evenings and on weekends.
It will balance the community’s needs and the welfare and consideration of sole staff members.
“We are committed to delivering a policing service the Upper Hutt community expect and deserve.
Very few members of the public are visiting Upper Hutt Police Station at the weekend or later in the day.
By closing at these times we can instead deploy our staff to times when it is busy,” said Te Awakairangi Hutt Valley Area Commander Inspector Dion Bennett.
The change in hours will not affect the policing service available to the community.
“Police will continue to work and be deployed from the Upper Hutt Police station 24/7. What is changing is the public front counter will be closed on weekends,” said Inspector Bennet.
As part of the review and consultation ahead of the changes community leaders and local iwi from across Upper Hutt were consulted.
This consultation provided valuable insights into how we can work together with the community to ensure they can be safe and feel safe.
“If you need to speak to Police and the matter is not urgent, please come and visit the station Monday – Friday between 9am and 5pm.
Alternatively you can ring us anytime on 105 or contact us online at 105.police.govt.nz.
If you need an emergency response please continue to call 111,” said Inspector Bennett.
