Mariette from Chartwell

River path update

28 April 2017
​

Several of Hamilton’s riverside paths have been reopened following recent weather events and the high level of the Waikato River.

Hamilton City Council staff have checked and cleaned numerous paths through the city.

Sections of path which have been reopened are:

St Andrews river path
Munro’s walkway to Te Hikuwai gate
Pine Beach
Fairfield Esplanade
Braithwaite Park
Memorial Park
However, several paths remain closed due to silt and debris, the need for geotechnical assessment, or other work underway.

They are:

Parts of New Memorial Park
Parts of Ferrybank
Grantham St boat ramp
Te Hikuwai
Kirikiriroa Reserve
Victoria on the River
Matakanohi Reserve will also be closed today due to the continuing high level of the Waikato River.

Path users should be cautious and are urged to “share with care”.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
