Poll: Do you think new funding and financing options will help with rates?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Senior Waikato mayors are welcoming a new national push by Local Government New Zealand to promote alternative funding and financing methods to ease rates pressure and develop key infrastructure.

LGNZ - which on Thursday was holding a national hui in Wellington - released a list of 25 funding and financing tools to help take direct pressure off ratepayers.

Do you think new funding and financing options will help with rates? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.

Leaving Neighbourly

Orlando from Pukete

Hey everyone, just a quick note to say I’m leaving Neighbourly. I joined because I thought it would be a good way to connect with people in the community, especially the older generation, and to receive advice, help, and shared knowledge.

Over time I’ve made quite a few posts genuinely looking for help or guidance, and unfortunately I’ve rarely received any responses. Most of the time it’s just one or two likes and no actual comments or help, which gets pretty discouraging after a while.

I understand people are busy, but when you consistently put things out there and hear almost nothing back, it starts to feel like there’s no real point in being part of the platform. Because of that, I’ve decided it’s best for me to move on.

No hard feelings — just not the right fit for me. Wishing everyone all the best.
