Angela McLeod chasing top job

Reporter Community News

Angela McLeod​ is hoping to defy history to be elected mayor of Upper Hutt in October.
The third-term city councillor is hoping to unseat Wayne Guppy, who was first elected mayor in 2001.
Upper Hutt has only had two mayors since 1977 – Rex Kirton and Guppy – and there only has been one female mayor – Doris Nicholson – from 1971 to 1977.
McLeod is campaigning on the need for change, after being the highest polling council candidate and narrowly missing out on the mayoralty in 2019.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
