What else would you like to see the council doing for the community?
The Library and recycling arguments aside that is. I have an issue with cars being parked all over footpaths and berms when we have some of the widest streets in the Wellington Area.
Our services run under the berms and footpaths and these lazy people who park like this are risking damaging them and causing ratepayer high costs to repair them, aside from that i feel it looks ugly.
What do you think?
Our biosecurity officers do a lot more then just protect our native environment. They are out there talking to the backyard protectors of tomorrow! Two of our team recently visited Plateau School where they talked pests, predators and what happens when you put a banana in a trap...
Has someone lost a big tabby cat in Perry St area? Unfortunately found deceased in Home of Compassion car park. Looks like a special breed.
Hi neighbors!
Does anyone know of anyone who might be able to provide Russian lessons (within the Hutt / Wellington area)? Really keen to learn.
Thanks! Спасибо!

There is a process that has to be followed and I will keep you up to date as events unfold. I am attaching the summary of stats from the three sources of information: Facebook survey/poll, Neighbourly survey/poll and oral interviews with visitors to the Recycle Depot itself. It is only 2 pages!!!
I think I can safely say this report is already in the hands of significant individuals.
Watch this page for further information updates.

Russian-Italian violist extraordinaire, Anna Serova, will perform Boris Pigovat's exquisite "Poem of Dawn" and the world premiere of Roberto Molinelli's extraordinary "Lady Walton's Garden", rich with Argentinean flavour, rhythms and excitement - don't be surprised if it breaks into some tango dancing - anything is possible!
Roger Myers (USA) opens the programme with Schumann's enchanting "Fairy Tale Pictures" and Roger Benedict (Australia) closes with Walton’s viola concerto. In collaboration with our incredible NZSO this promises to be an unforgettable event and a New Zealand cultural highlight of the year.

It is my intention at this stage, to attend and speak and to present evidence of the deep distress that the change has caused many long-time users of the Library.
Please email Councillors and let them know if you are for or against the change.
I’VE BEEN THINKING!
Q. How come certain city councillors are able to completely ignore a ratepayer? For months now. In contravention of their sworn oaths to do the opposite? Oaths to uphold and facilitate rate payers, to understand and access the democratic process?
If I am correct and it is the Mayors job as ‘chief councillor’ to oversee councillors, to make sure that he and everything they do is lawful, procedurally correct, in line with protocols and their sworn duty as elected representatives in respect of serving rate payers needs and issues without judgement, equally, then something is very wrong with democracy in Upper Hutt.
I understand that it is part of the chief councillors (Mayors) roll to help and instruct individual councillors to comply with the laws, protocols and oath that all the councillors swore to uphold, including himself.
Q. So who’s not doing their job?
How come the Mayor has not done his job, as I understand it, in guiding the councillors in their sworn legal obligations to rate payers. How has he allowed our councillors to be derelict in their duty to us?
• Did the Mayor not tell them their obligations as elected representatives to rate payers?
• Did the Mayor instruct them regarding their obligations to us and in this instance they chose to ignore them?
• Did the Mayor instruct them to ignore me?
Whatever the answer is, it all comes back to the Mayor.
