Petition against the Massive Rates Increase.

Paul from Trentham

We have the support of over 1900 people on the Petition against the UHCC's proposed 20% rates rise for the next 3 years. This is a 73% increase in our rates which equates to $30-$50 per week for most.


This is disgusting, and when you compare it with $2200 just look and potentially not … View more
We have the support of over 1900 people on the Petition against the UHCC's proposed 20% rates rise for the next 3 years. This is a 73% increase in our rates which equates to $30-$50 per week for most.


This is disgusting, and when you compare it with $2200 just look and potentially not even fix a water leak. It seems like our rates are going down the drain. Yet the mayor has been directed by many retired plumbers to solutions but seems to come up with the same response, "Wellington Water wont last much longer" This has been the stock response for too long. We need Action!


We would love your support to show the Council that Upper Hutt is against these massive increases. From our research we cannot see in 3 years since the last LTP why the council are needing to do increases to this level.

You can sign the petition, leave a comment and like others comments here

www.change.org...

The petition is planned to be available until the 28th of May 2024. We will present the petition to the council, hopefully with as many signatures as we can get.

With 2 days till the extension on the Upper Hutt Council Long Term Plan submissions is up. If you want to submit you have Saturday and Sunday to make your submission on the future path of the city.

letskorero.upperhuttcity.com...

Through this process we have asked the council several questions relating to issues we have noticed and clarifications. The answers to these have not been very forthcoming. Below is a link to the questions and responses we have had with the council. Unfortunately after our last request for clarifications the council decided that they no longer wished to answer any questions and shut down the lines of communication (Stonewalled us):

Black = Our Initial Questions
Blue = Council Responses
Red = Our Last Responses

Watch out for this pretty flower

Green thumbs are being asked to watch out for a beautiful but toxic flower that could be growing in their backyards.

What you need to know:
- Every part of the plant is poisonous, and can cause gastroenteritis, thirst, paralysis, blindness, and heart and kidney failure.
- This plant is hardy and normal pest control efforts are often not enough to eradicate.
- The cape tulip, growing up to 90cm high with one strap-like leaf, was introduced to Aotearoa in the 1940s, the Ministry for Primary Industries’ manager for pest management John Sanson said. “Cape tulips, like many of these invasive weeds, are really attractive ornamental species ...but they escape over people’s backyard fences and into pasture, as these things often do,”
- It was classified as a noxious plant in the late 1970s after they were discovered to cause harm to livestock and humans, even killing animals when too much as ingested.
- The salmon-pink flowers bloom for about two days a year between June and December, and have previously been an ornamental species for keen gardeners.

Sanson urged people who believed they had the weed growing on their property to leave it untouched and contact Biosecurity New New Zealand’s Exotic Pest and Disease on 0800 80 99 66.

Once a site was confirmed, manual removal or chemical treatment would start.

Before we can start to improve your spinal function, and therefore your overall health, we first have to establish the current baseline functionality of your spine. 📊
Age, occupation, postural imbalances, historical traumas, and underlying conditions are just some of the factors that contribute to your baseline when you initially seek care. 🤕👩‍🦳👩‍🔬
Identifying this through a thorough health history, comprehensive spinal assessment, and radiographic imaging gives us the ability to curate a roadmap of care that is specifically designed to improve your baseline.
