Grant's Bush Reserve Deserves To Be Upgraded
This increasingly well utilised reserve has a large grassy area apart from the native bush in the centre north and while the bush has paid caretakers, the grassy section is quite weedy in places. 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.
