Poll: Do boy racers gather near where you live?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A teenage boy was reportedly knocked out for about 15 minutes and suffered two broken arms after he was struck by a car at a boy racer invasion in the Waikato.

Fireworks were also shot into nearby farmland and a brawl broke out after an estimated 500 to 600 people gathered at the intersection of Great South Rd and Horotiu Bridge Rd, north of Hamilton in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The dama wallaby, which had an immature joey in its pouch, was spotted in Frankton on March 3, reported and killed, Waikato Regional Council says.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
