Welcome to The Upper Hutt Connection, a local online community newspaper for the people of Upper Hutt. The Upper Hutt Connection is an independent paper, I’m not associated with The Upper Hutt Leader, Stuff, Neighbourly, etc – Think of it more like an alternative to The Leader.
Cheers, Ben Knowles – Editor / Operator of The Upper Hutt Connection
