The meeting has been initiated by His Worship the Mayor and the Upper Hutt City Council Chief Executive, Chris Upton, following their recent meeting with the Honourable Chester Borrows.
There will be an opportunity for the public and those directly affected by the closure of the Courthouse to discuss the issues with Mr Borrows, and how they can move forward.
