WATER LEAKING MISINFORMATION

The story is out, hot off the press that Upper Hutt water leaks are taking only a max of 21days to fix.
Good job Wellington Water and UH City Council. Yeah, right.

Less than a few months ago a leak in busy Ward Street took almost 4 months to fix during that time thousands had to step over or wade through the 24/7 water wastage. Around the same time other people in UH reported the 2-3 months delays in public water leaks being attended to and one person spoke of six months gap between first report and repairs.

At the very least there could be some honesty.
One does hope that there are plans to put into action for a few days gap only between leak spotting and leak fixing.

JACKSON ST FOR JACK OF ALL FOOD

Last time I wrote about Petone (Pito-oni) was to say GET OUT for those on the plains for the overlapping sea is on its way, quicker than was envisaged only a few years ago. Just refer to relevant insurance premiums if you don't believe me.

Last time I wrote about Petone (Pito-oni) was to say GET OUT for those on the plains for the overlapping sea is on its way, quicker than was envisaged only a few years ago. Just refer to relevant insurance premiums if you don't believe me.

But while we are still here, Petone's Jackson Street is a little Melbourne for its food and drinking outlets.

Last time I counted there were 38 places along a kilometre stretch of Jackson Street that provided food and refreshments - mostly by way of restaurants - but someone else has done a recent count and got up to near 70.
That latest figure represents a wide variety of choice. And parking though limited and mostly in ultra narrow streets , is still free and that's the way most Petone-ites want it.

My birthday is coming up so guess I will be somewhere in Petone if not Brewtown, on the night.
