Community Views Sought on the shared path by Carl McRae Submissions are now being sought from the public on the Eastern Bays Shared Path, as resource consent progresses to the notification stage. Hutt City Mayor Campbell Barry says the shared path is an important project for the Eastern Bays community and visitors to the area, not only for the ease of active transport, but also because of the added resilience it will provide. “While it’s great that we have progressed to this point I will be working with key stakeholders to ensure the Eastern Bays Shared Path can be completed entirely," he says. "However, it will be important that the voice of the community is heard during this notification phase and I encourage people to look at the designs and make a submission.” Work on the project involves several components, many of which trigger the need for resource consents from both Greater Wellington Regional Council and Hutt City Council due to construction work being undertaken within both the coastal marine area and the road corridor.

It's not fa la la la la until Xmas!
The annual community carol service at the start of next month will feature a lighted-hearted account of the very first Christmas, as seen through the eyes of a desert salesman looking to make a quick buck. As he engages with various characters making their way to Bethlehem, the tables are turned and he finds he gets far more than he bargained for. The service is on December 1, 5pm in the Muritai School Hall, featuring the Hutt City Brass Band, well -known carols, the arrival of Santa and a sausage sizzle hosted by the Eastbourne Lions Club. A collection will be taken for the Lower Hutt Food Bank. The service will be led by Anne Manchester and Phil Benge.
