Poll: Do you think the Te Rapa racecourse should be turned into a housing development?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Pedestrians pounding pavements will likely replace galloping hooves when Te Rapa Racecourse is redeveloped, experts say.

Waikato Racing wants to create a hub for thoroughbred racing which would combine Te Rapa, Cambridge and Waipā clubs at a purpose built facility at a new address.

Do you think the Te Rapa racecourse should be turned into a housing development? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

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? 🍫
