How Rimutaka Prison helps shape Upper Hutt

Reporter Upper Hutt Leader

The Sunday Star-Times are working on a feature exploring how Rimutaka Prison has helped shape the city of Upper Hutt.
As part of that, we'd like to add some insightful thoughts from residents on how they believe the prison impacts the city.
For example, some people might be happy to have more employment while others might be worried it could attract other criminals wanting to visit friends or family inside.

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.

Beware of Finance Phantom

Alex from Woburn

Just letting people know my parents registered for a online trading platform after they saw on Facebook which they try to mimic the New Zealand Herald with an article called:

New Zealanders will be left without pension payments: Prime Minister tells us what awaits us after pension reform

news-world24.com.pl...

What happened was when my parents told me that they were talking with someone from customer support from Finance Phantom, I had to push them on if they can give me the name of the online trading platform and searched Finance Phantom, it was a scam

Also when it comes to phone calls, the scammers will insist you to deposit $250.00 USD

Also if people search Finance Phantom reddit, it is a scam
