The Hutt Valley Fire Police Unit were again proud to be asked to support the 2008 Upper Hutt Santa Parade, held down the Main Street of Upper Hutt on a brilliant Saturday afternoon, 6 December.

The Unit assisted with the management of the parade by providing Unit personnel to control the major road closures and assist with general crowd and traffic management assistance as required by the organisers.

This was a fun-filled event that was enjoyed by the public of Upper Hutt.

On behalf of the people of Upper Hutt we thank the organisers of this activity for another great day.

By SO Mike Lock. Imagery (hopefully) to follow - stay tuned.
