“During the holiday season, GPs and pharmacies will have different operating hours, so it is very important for people who require regular medications to renew and fill any prescriptions they will need in the coming weeks,” said HVDHB Chief Medical Officer Sisira Jayathissa.
“This is especially important if people are planning to travel during the summer break and will not be close to their regular – or, depending on where people are travelling, any – GPs or pharmacies. People who are not travelling should take note of their GP and pharmacy’s holiday hours to ensure they can access help and support if they need it.”

The Automobile Association has issued a plea for people not to lock children and pets in cars in a warning that gets more-urgent as summer months set in.

A reminder on behalf of our four-legged friends: footpaths and sandy beaches in the summertime, heat up way too much for us humans to roam bare-footed, so please spare a thought for your four-legged friends.

FACT: If your feet fry on the beach/concrete so will your dogs paws. Please share this reminder with whananu, so that hopefully they'll consider the heat of concrete, ashphelt & beaches before exercising their dogs on these surfaces. FACT: Dogs-paws-aren't-made-for-concrete, nor are their limbs and joints. The heat created by the friction of a dog's paws connecting with concrete, when owners jog with their dogs is a double whammy in summer time. Please kindly share, where you think best, to raise awareness on behalf of all the doggies out there.

Once they’re established, it’s almost impossible to remove them and the pests can squeeze the life out of our most precious rivers and lakes. We all need to do our bit to protect waterways by always checking, cleaning, then drying any equipment that comes into contact with the water, between every waterway, every time.

He was one of the great characters and loved to have a chat. He would often be seen at car shows at Trentham Memorial Park and was a regular visitor at the Hutt News.
He enjoyed raising money for Wellington Free Ambulance and was also a keen bowler. Melby died in May aged 96.
Wellington Police have advised that missing 17 year-old Caley has been found safe and well. Thank you to the community for all your help.

The number of mult-unit housing developments in Lower Hutt is soaring.
Large sections or pockets lands are being turned into terraced housing and infill housing.
Multi-unit developments in Lower Hutt are now being routinely snapped up off the plans within hours of being listed. Peter Roberts and Makayla Patel (pictured) purchased their house of the plan last year, after finding they could not get a stand-alone home.
We're designing an extension for Moera playground.
During initial feedback you told us you'd like to see preschool aged equipment in the design too.
Based on what you told us we'll be putting in more swings along with one of four options that you can vote for.

Lower Hutt-based politicians have joined forces in a renewed push to save the only direct bus service connecting the Hutt Valley to Wellington Airport.

On Monday, Labour MP for Hutt South Ginny Andersen, National list MP Chris Bishop, Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry and councillor Deborah Hislop wrote a joint letter to the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) asking it to step in and fund the Airport Flyer bus, so it can continue running to and from the Hutt.
The call comes after Wellington Airport confirmed plans to axe the Wellington-Lower Hutt leg of the route when Tranzit begins operating the service in early 2021 because it was no longer commercially viable.
But GWRC chairman Daran Ponter hit back saying the reality was that many services ran with “zero or one or two passengers”.
“What the MPs and the mayor are saying is that ratepayers should pay for a service that was very poorly used between the Hutt Valley and the Railway Station.”
