Paula Southgate’s decision not to run for Hamilton mayor this year has turned the spotlight on who’ll replace her, with at least three strong, fiscally “conservative” male possibilities.

There were also longer-shot “maybes” from female councillors on the left of the political spectrum when Waikato Times did a ring-around.

From January to April 2025, we will be working to improve SH16 The Strand, Stanley St and Gladstone Rd.

We’ll be working overnight and during the weekend to improve these roads and make it safer and easier for people living, working, and travelling around this area.

SH16 is a busy road for Aucklanders, and we have chosen to work over the summer when traffic volumes are lower than normal. More stable summer weather reduces delays so our teams can finish this work quickly and efficiently.

HAS ANYONE SEEN A LONELY PURPLE SHOE WANDERING AROUND WITHOUT IT'S MATE?
IT WAS UNDER THE RED HATTER'S CHRISTMAS TREE AT THE CATHEDRAL....BUT FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER, IT HAS BEEN RELOCATED TO ANOTHER ADDRESS.
SOMEONE MUST HAVE FELT THAT THEIR NEED OF 1 GLITTERY, VERY HIGHT-HEELED PURPLE PATENT LEATHER SHOE, WAS GREATER THAN OURS.

Beneath the branches of our Cathedral tree,
A quiet plea rings solemnly:
The Red Hatters' shoe, a cherished charm,
Now rests away, safe from its warm.
Oh, wandering hand, what made you stray,
To take our lovely shoe away?
The Hatters now will shed a tear,
With only one shoe of the lovely pair.
Return the shoe, let kindness lead,
It was a simple act, a heartfelt deed.
Return the shoe to where it belongs,
And mend the place of broken songs.

WE ARE CERTAIN THAT 1 SHOE IS NOT MUCH USE TO U.
****WE WOULD LIKE IT BACK PLEASE,****
OR MAKE AN OFFER FOR THE OTHER ONE..LOL.
FANCY HAVING THE NERVE OR THE CHEEK TO DO THAT IN THE CATHEDRAL.
**Please message me and arrange to return it to us.***
