Ivan, who retired last month (9 April), was a trainee baker when he decided to join Police, becoming a member of Recruit Wing 114 in 1988. He was following in the footsteps of his father Tom, whose 31-year career began in 1959 and included 10 years as a dog handler, and brother Darryl, who joined in 1982 and served in the Hutt Valley and Waikato. Ivan’s own policing career began on the streets of Upper Hutt.
The year 2002 brought a learning experience of a sort, with the accidental discovery of an underground bunker in an Upper Hutt forest, kitted out as a cell for a would-be kidnap victim. Ivan spent two days recording the details.
Upper Hutt residents do you remember the kidnapping?

Hullo Neighbourly folk, the scenes we have seen on our TVs about Covid in India are heart-breaking but spare a thought for the Indian community in New Zealand. People like Dipa Patel must be worried sick.

The UHCC refuse to take care of the weeds and I think a small group of residents/users should make a direct approach to council with a view to asking for an annual weed spraying programme.
Many dog owners/handlers and their dogs are using the park for recreation and the council will not install at least one litter dispenser and litter bin. I think this can also be broached to council for the placement of these items at the park. They exist in other parks and reserves in Upper Hutt including three litter dispensers at Trentham Memorial Park aside from multiple litter bins.
Last winter there were vehicles and motor bikes rampaging parts of the park when the park surface was wet and despoiling the ground. More barriers need to be constructed to stop this vandalism.
Grant's Bush Reserve is otherwise attractive and appreciated.
