Be Upper Hutt’s face of Vote 2022
Upper Hutt City Council are on the lookout for passionate locals to be the face of our upcoming local election campaign. Last election 43% of eligible voters voted, let’s increase that!
We’d love to chat to anyone who is passionate about local matters and wants to encourage people to stand for Council. Take Ezekiel for example, they are championing addressing climate change. What would you say? Perhaps it’s the environment, infrastructure, local economy or accessibility?
I’m interested, tell me more you say! We want to create pictures like this one of Ezekiel. For that we’d need to photograph you and for you to tell us what you’re passionate about. We’d need to get you to sign a release form so we can use that photo too. We’d use that information on billboards around the city and across our other channels like social media and newsletters.
Still keen? Please email askus@uhcc.govt.nz and we’ll get the conversation started.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

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?
