Is it time for a new Upper Hutt mayor?

Reporter Community News

Hey Neighbourly folk, what are your thoughts on the mayoralty? Is it a time for a change?
Please tell us what you think and put NFP if you do not want your comments used.

The race is on for the Upper Hutt mayoralty with three term councillor Angela McLeod, confirming she is again taking on incumbent Wayne Guppy.
In 2019, Mcleod came within 2000 votes of Guppy, who is now seeking his eighth term.
McLeod believes that she could have pushed Guppy closer in 2019, if it were not for the presence of a third candidate, Steve Taylor, who received 2,735 votes.
This time, Taylor says he will not be standing and is not aware of anyone else likely to do so.
