City's 'joke' event funding called out. What would it mean to you if we lost the Summer Carnival and Fireworks Fantastic?

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

Traditional community events such as Fireworks Fantastic and the Summer Carnival will be lost to Upper Hutt unless the city council steps up to fund them, says event organiser Murray Lord. Take a look at the story and tell us what you think. What would it mean to lose the fireworks and carnival? Is this where the council should be putting its money?
