Cafes Closing But Not At Brewtown

Michael from Trentham

Upper Hutt's unique Brewtown is all set to step up and expand its array of cafes/restaurants which shows just how well the entertainment and craft beer complex is performing.

Cafes and restaurants are closing and changing hands like never before in this Covid era. But the rise and rise of Brewtown is being maintained.

Brewtown has currently got five restaurants/cafes associated with craft beer specialists directly or indirectly.

These will be joined shortly by a bicycle-theme cafe.
The adjoining workshop can easily convert your normal bike with an E-bike function. The cafe will have free use of bikes and trikes for kids and no doubt will be well suited for the growing cycling populous as a cycle cafe centre. Of course craft beer will be available along with usual cafe refreshments and the promise of delicious cafe meals of all kinds.

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?

ALEXANDER ROAD SPEED LIMIT

Michael from Trentham

Alexander Road in Trentham-Wallaceville of which 50% separates a golf course from a military encampment enclosure and the rest has mostly high fenced off industrial and residential areas on both sides, should have a 70km speed restriction.

Only a short time ago the road had a 80km restriction and was reduced to a pedestrian 50km much to the frustration of many. It has never been an accident prone stretch of road.

The several round-abouts ensure speed is reduced to 30-40km when these things occur.

I recently stayed a few days in Feilding - often given the title of the best town in NZ - and one of the lengthy main streets has a 70km speed restriction despite a predominance of unfenced residential properties on both sides.
