Upper Hutt Lights Up

Michael from Trentham

Upper Hutt has a new night time display object.

It's funny but I mentioned what should happen last year ago on Neighbourly and finally, maybe someone took notice.

Its all about the tallest object in Upper Hutt - no its not a building in the CBD or a tree in Trentham Memorial Park - it's an old but proud chimney.

It is sited within the area that houses Brewtown and so several weeks ago the tall, narrow, ugly by day, concrete smokestack took on a night-time glamour all of its own with large neon lighting proclaiming BREWTOWN running almost from the top to near the bottom.

And guess what - it can change colours too: multi and singularily. A colour or colours to suit the occasion.

Tonight it is purple.

Just maybe it could be symbol of a brighter future for Upper Hutt.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
