It's not over until the fat lady sings...

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

Get in quick - the Heretaunga Players’ first show of 2018 returns us to the village of Little Grimley with The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley.
Gordon (Andrew Tait), Margaret (Heather O’Brien), Joyce (Janet Beams) and Bernard (Greg Judd) are the surviving members of Little Grimley Amateur Dramatic Society.
They’re back to tackle yet another threat to their survival – this time in the shape of a rival am-dram, newly-formed in their village, determined to upstage them with an award-winning musical.
Season opens April 26. Shows will be performed at The Studio, Ward St and tickets are available from Expressions or by calling 527 2168.

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.
