Tell us what you think of Main St?
Hopefully you will have seen the recent story in the Upper Hutt Leader about the future of Main St.
Upper Hutt Mayor Wayne Guppy said all options, including apartments, are on the table for the future development of Main Street. A recent social media post by Marita Manns Maass resulted in a wide ranging discussion on the future of the main shopping street.
Maass, who described the "street as a dog's breakfast" suggested the council should look to Europe for design inspiration and for ways to reduce the number of empty shops.
Ideas suggested included making the street pedestrian only.
Tell us what you would like to see done with the street to make it more attractive.

THE POST FOREGOES ITS OWN TEAM
Wellington Lions (men's provincial rugby rep team) brilliantly won the Bunnings NPC last Saturday but The Post (Wellington's daily newspaper) has done absolutely no follow-up article/story in the days following the brief report on the Monday edition.
In fact the Auckland-based NZ Herald carried much more surrounding Wellington's success.
What use is this Wellington newspaper - the "great" amalgamated successor of the Dominion and The Evening Post which had presented a Trump-like lie in stating it was going to to be twice as good and as large as either of the two newspapers it derived from and with a smorgasbord of journalists.
Today it is a limp, dwindling, sometimes delivered soggy cut-down-to-comic-size newspaper that cannot even capture the essence of a stunning sports win by an outstanding team of Super Rugby and All Black quality players within its realm of distribution.
