Poll: Should learning about climate change be part of the school curriculum?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Some experts say that has to change. It is such an existential threat that not to make it a requirement to teach children about climate change is doing them a great disservice, they say.

Are there any roads around our region in need of fixing?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Waikato Times

Hi neighbours,
The National Road Carriers Association recently put a call out on its Facebook page for people to start sending them photos of potholed and cracked highways.
They want to show the Government how poor local roads really are.
So are there any roads around our region in need of fixing?

Poll: Do you support the city council's move to help deliver affordable housing?

Hi everyone,

A housing shakeup is planned for Waikato, aimed at helping people get out of unstable renting situations.

At its heart is a trust which would own land and charge a "peppercorn lease" to people who own or rent houses on it.

Hamilton City Council is setting aside $2 million to start the trust and has been talking with various community groups - but hopes it will attract more contributors and go Waikato-wide.

What do you think of the plan? Should the city council be tackling these kinds of issues?

Library services resume

Noel Smith from Noel Smith Councillor - Newcastle Ward

Shared library services for Hamilton and Waikato District residents in the immediate areas around Hamilton will resume next month after an agreement between Hamilton City and Waikato District Councils was approved yesterday.

Shared library services for Hamilton and Waikato District residents in the immediate areas around Hamilton will resume next month after an agreement between Hamilton City and Waikato District Councils was approved yesterday.

Hamilton City Council approved the agreement at its 27 June 2019 meeting as part of wider discussions about growth issues and collaboration between local councils.

I am particularly pleased that our school aged children will have access in such areas as Whatawhata where computers are not in every home so the library services at Dinsdale will again be accessible to that community.

Overall I believe this is fair value and a good result and an example of both Councils sharing services across local government boundaries.

The library services agreement runs for three years from 1 July, 2019 and Waikato District Council is contributing $199,235 plus GST annually for the service. The agreement covers approximately 8000 Waikato District households in the southern area of Waikato District, a total of around 23,000 people.
