We all knew Petone was part of Wellington

The Har­bour Ward com­pris­ing Petone, Koroko­ro, Seav­iew, Grace­field and East­bourne are launch­ing a peti­tion cam­paign over the next 2 weeks to gauge pub­lic sup­port for the trans­fer of the HARBOUR WARD from Hutt City to Welling­ton City.

They allege that the Hutt Coun­cil has failed in its respon­si­bil­i­ties to pro­tect build­ings, the parks, and the age­ing cit­i­zens.

There are pub­lic meet­ings planned;

19th Sep­tem­ber 8pm Muri­tai School Hall, East­bourne

26th Sep­tem­ber Senior Cit­i­zens Hall Sil­ber­ry Place, off Kens­ing­ton Street, Petone

From my per­spec­tive, I think Hutt Coun­cil has allowed some beau­ti­ful build­ings to be anni­hi­lat­ed and replaced with such fab­u­lous struc­tures as Rebel Sports.

I also think that the very wit­ty bill­board cam­paign they have at the moment has got up the noses of many East­bourne res­i­dents (imag­ine imply­ing East­bourne res­i­dents are snooty — the cheek!), and they are behind this move.

I’d be hap­py to change to Welling­ton Coun­cil. They have cheap­er rates. Plus, we all know that Petone is the Riv­iera of Welling­ton.
