It seems like we may have made some waves with the council and from what we can tell we have been blocked from accessing the Council facebook page.
This is what is happening when we try and access the Upper Hutt City Facebook Page. It seems that we have been blocked from even viewing this page.
While attempting to engage with the council and getting nowhere, we started to get very frustrated with the councils lack of responses and answers to what we believe were valid questions. We started highlighting issues and failings of the council along with facts and proof on the council facebook page.
It seems that when the council are provided with facts that cause them to either need to respond or puts them in a bad light their first port of call is to block those people. No warning, no engagement, no access..
When frustration rises then people try different methods of engaging and just to be clear we do not believe at any point we threaten or abuse anyone at the council.
If you are having similar issues and wondering why, you may not have access to the UHCC Facebook page or maybe even other Council sites this might be the reason.....
We want respectful interactions with our community. That is the very reason we are here However, the time spent reacting to keyboard agitators is taking staff away from doing things that can really make a difference. See article below.
If the above was the case the council wouldn't have shut down communications and the CEO would have answered the publics questions relating to the LTP and other comunity concerns.
