Tamahere Forum
Tamahere Community Committee has launched a new website to provide the residents and ratepayers with a direct link to its elected committee and a channel for information and communications.
You are invited to join the mailing list - you will receive one email before each TCC monthly meeting (agenda) so you know what is happening and a second email after each monthly meeting (minutes) with info on what was discussed/decided. The mailing list also means you can be notified of any issue that impacts on you or for you to comment on if you wish (maybe 3 or 4 issues each year).
TCC meetings are open to the public so any one can attend and have a say.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
Want to see what recovery will look like from here? The Waikato Times has the latest.
