Poll: Do you vote in local council elections?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Less than a third of Hamiltonians are picking the leaders who make huge decisions for the city and its residents - and the council boss wants that to change.

“It’s too crucial to leave to too few,” said city council chief executive Lance Vervoort, as the council grapples with rapid growth and financial challenges, issuing a 15.5% rates rise.

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

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? 🍫
