Cool As Summer Refresher Drink Challenge!
The competition’s heating up for Lower Hutt’s Coolest drink this summer! From 13 to 30 January, 17 local cafés, restaurants, bars and bakeries have their own cool creations on offer as part of the 7th Cool As Summer Refresher Drink Challenge.
Do you fancy cooling down with a Pokémon ‘Charizard’ inspired fruit slushy? Perhaps a ‘Squeeze the Day, Nothing is Impopsicle’ kiwifruit, lime and ginger number is your ideal refresher under a shady spot? There’s something for everyone amongst 17 options. One thing’s for sure though, we need your help to choose 2022’s coolest drink! Customers can vote for their favourite drink by scanning the QR code located in each café, or on the Cool As Challenge Facebook or Instagram pages.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
