Upper Hutt Leader is now to be part of one publication the Hutt News - hopefully with a bit more focus on the Upper bit

You may have heard that the Upper Hutt Leader will no longer be printed as an individual paper, instead, amalgamating with (and becoming) The Hutt News. The Upper Hutt Leader was founded in 1939 by Ralph Ashford (pictured). After 85 years of serving the local community, it is truly an end of an era.

Never fear though, because we hold bound copies of the Upper Hutt Leader in the central branch of the Upper Hutt Library. Physical copies (1964-2023) are held. They are reference only and can be viewed within the library. To access them just ask our friendly staff at the front desk and they will happily grab a copy for your reading pleasure. Upper Hutt Leaders from 1939-1964 can be viewed online at our Newspaper Archive https://www.upperhuttlibrary.co.nz/Digital-Library/eBooks/Upper-Hutt-Leader

Times are tough out there - local popular Trentham restaurant in the to close
(The old Cobb & Co)

It is with regret that we announce the closure of The Piwakawaka Restaurant & Bar from today.
Unfortunately due to the current economic climate and financial pressure on our community it is simply not viable or responsible to continue to trade.
We would like to thank all the wonderful people who have supported us by joining us for a meal, a drink or a function. We would also take this opportunity to thank our awesome staff who have done everything possible to ensure our guests have a great time with us.

A lot of talk when you read the timeline - and the project being on then off then on again and now individual groups managing their own outcomes - shows to me that the commitment to the project overall is wanting…. Ratepayers deserve more but will they get less now

A project described as transformational for Hutt City has suffered another set back amid ballooning costs beyond the $700m budget, with two of the key partners pulling out of the multi-agency alliance.

So this is how the new stop bank will look between KG Bridge and Melling

Are you wondering how the stopbank will be built? Check out our handy diagram below describing the process.

Whilst we can’t allow the public into the construction site for safety reasons, we will provide regular photo updates of our progress.

Remember, the Hutt River Trail and recreational area on the eastern side of the river is temporarily closed between Melling Link Bridge and Kennedy Good Bridge from now through to early October.

Please follow the diversion signs. You can still use the shared path on the western side of the river (connecting to Block Road), and the footpath on Connolly St.
