Immigration raised as Winston Peters addresses Upper Hutt Grey Power

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

Hi everyone. Thanks for the lively discussion on this topic, we love hearing your thoughts. Comments have now been closed.

There must be an election on . . . although that's a bit unfair because Winston Peter has been a regular speaker at Upper Hutt Grey Power over the years. And it looks like he made a few good points too.
What will the election for our seat of Rimutaka bring, we can only wonder.
Are their any issues we as a community need our candidates to address?
And would you be keen on a all-in public meeting, would you attend or are they a thing of the past?
Please write DNP (Do Not Print) if you don't want your comment to be published in print.

Melling line might disappear..

Mike from Alicetown

Hutt City mayor Campbell Barry is asking for an urgent meeting with Transport Minister Simeon Brown over the future of the Melling train line.

The Melling Line is facing an uncertain future after funding for a key piece of infrastructure was not included in the $32.9 billion National Land Transport Programme, which included $3.2b for Wellington ‒ a pedestrian bridge over Te Awa Kairangi/Hutt River.

The pedestrian bridge has always been a core part of RiverLink, which includes the Melling interchange. To build the interchange on State Highway 2, the Melling Station has to be relocated south.
