All about me!
Hi Folks, I am Alison Hucke. I am the co-ordinator of the Cambridge Community Garden. This garden is a great asset owned and operated entirley by volunteers from the community. At present it is very productive. You can collect or pick your own fresh spray free produce at any time - just do a task on the whiteboard, swap your extra produce or preserves or leave a donation. We will help you stay healthy and beat the supermarket prices.
If you would like to volunteer I am at the garden every Wed. and Sat. morning from 8am to 10.30am.
I am also a resident in Resthaven Retirement Village and manage the Craft Room there.
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.
