U H Leader Not Leading The Way
Front page headlines in Upper Hutt Leader December 15, 2021: Work starts on $100m hub project.
First paragraph includes: work has begun on a new earthquake resistant commercial hub (etc etc).
Love to advise the unnamed writer that work in earnest started nearly three months ago on the Blue Mountains Campus and lots of people can vouch for this as they file past almost every day.
If this is the news of the day, then there is little use for the Leader as a newspaper.
In fact most of the information in this main item of the Dec 15 edition has previously been documented in better format in the Leader which at the time was considerably behind other news media including the DomPost, Stuff and the Willis Bond website.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
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?
