The Hutt’s three top elected politicians are joining forces in an attempt to bring the Airport Flyer bus service back to the area.
Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry, Hutt South MP Ginny Andersen, and Hutt-based List MP Chris Bishop will pen a joint letter to Wellington Airport owner Infratil, as well as newly appointed bus operator Tranzit.
“Quite clearly all of us are really disappointed at the decision not to include the Hutt in the new run,” Barry said.
Wellington Airport announced on Monday the Airport Flyer would return under a new operator in early 2021, and would feature Snapper card payments and Metlink’s Real Time Information screens, both of which were removed from the service in 2019.

Reno blogging saved one couple $35k... but it didn't come cheap

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

I've always thought of reno blogging as a way to document a difficult process in a fun, relatable way. The benefit? Emotional support and maybe advice from folks following your journey - and maybe a little ego bump from showing off your mad wallpapering skills.

I've always thought of reno blogging as a way to document a difficult process in a fun, relatable way. The benefit? Emotional support and maybe advice from folks following your journey - and maybe a little ego bump from showing off your mad wallpapering skills.
If you're lucky, and good, you might be given a couple of cans of paint from your local hardware store, to help you on the way - but that would be the icing on the tip of the social media cake.
Few of us would have the energy or knowhow to turn their reno into a part time side hustle that's both creatively fulfilling, and engaging.
But that's exactly what Moochstyle's Shayden and Georgia Whipps have done - with some pawsome help from their gorgeous dog Frankie. They've been blogging their Christchurch villa reno since they bought their home and Shayden shared their story with us for the final episode of First Rung, our podcast. A first time homeowner and renovator, Shayden is such an inspiring guy to chat with. He makes you want to jump in and give it go. Check out his story and let us know what you think.

The conversion of a former commercial building into 40 new apartments could be a much-needed shot in the arm for Lower Hutt’s struggling CBD.
Developer Kevin Melville said the $15 million project, alongside other apartment complexes, would establish a new inner-city community that would help drive business in the central city.
The units will be available in about 14 months.
Wellington developer Ian Cassels is also working on a major development nearby featuring a mix of apartments and retail.
Hutt City Council estimates 9606 new houses will be needed to be built in the city by 2047 to keep up with population growth.

Over the next few weeks Neighbourly will be running short Good Sorts, featuring people who make a difference in their community.
This week meet bus driver Vince Tamihere.

Vince Tamihere reckons he has the perfect job, driving buses for Tranzurban.
Based in Grenada Village, he covers Wellington City and Porirua.
"I love my job. I am proud and privileged to serve our communities and to get paid for it."
Driving kids to Pauatahanui School is a run he particularly enjoys.
Recently, he posted about helping a 13 year-old girl, who was waiting at a station at 11.30pm on a wet Friday night.
Vince asked if she was okay and was told she was waiting for her parents to pick her up.
Vince waited until her parents arrived and was delighted to receive two boxes of chocolates from her grateful mum.
Recently, he posted on how much he enjoys his work and made a plea to be tolerant towards drivers.
"If you get cut off by one of my work mates think of me! The awesome bus driver."
When he is not driving buses, Vince is fighting for his community in Naenae. He has been outspoken lobbying for the earthquake prone Naenae Pool to be rebuilt and for more facilities for youth.

Tui along the river bank

This guy insisted on following me and my oldest daughter along the Hutt River trail, just in case I needed a few different angles. So, here's something you might not have seen before (if you live in Canterbury and/or an underground bunker and don't get out much) - a tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) on a flax flower. It makes a refreshing change from tui in a kowhai tree.
