Hullo Neighbourly folk, the scenes we have seen on our TVs about Covid in India are heart-breaking but spare a thought for the Indian community in New Zealand. People like Dipa Patel must be worried sick.

The UHCC refuse to take care of the weeds and I think a small group of residents/users should make a direct approach to council with a view to asking for an annual weed spraying programme.
Many dog owners/handlers and their dogs are using the park for recreation and the council will not install at least one litter dispenser and litter bin. I think this can also be broached to council for the placement of these items at the park. They exist in other parks and reserves in Upper Hutt including three litter dispensers at Trentham Memorial Park aside from multiple litter bins.
Last winter there were vehicles and motor bikes rampaging parts of the park when the park surface was wet and despoiling the ground. More barriers need to be constructed to stop this vandalism.
Grant's Bush Reserve is otherwise attractive and appreciated.

We've just had our home carpeted with Rhino West Haven carpeting and have made some rugs with the offcuts, overlocking the raw edges. They are brand new. We have one measuring approx. 2 meters by 2.3meters, colour Toasted Almond. This is quality easy to clean carpet and cost $90/sq. meter. … View moreWe've just had our home carpeted with Rhino West Haven carpeting and have made some rugs with the offcuts, overlocking the raw edges. They are brand new. We have one measuring approx. 2 meters by 2.3meters, colour Toasted Almond. This is quality easy to clean carpet and cost $90/sq. meter. So, it's about $415 worth of carpet and the overlocking cost takes it to $460. Happy to sell it for $200.
