Our lives are affected every day by decisions made by your city's Mayor and Councillors - people elected every 3 years to represent you. In spite of this, voter turnout for the Hamilton Council elections has been steadily declining. And next year, a new crop of candidates will put their names forward.
I have put together a fun and informative talk where I share insights into why people don't vote and what can be done about it. I will come to you. Send me a message or contact me at: angela.oleary@council.hcc.govt.nz or 027 808 7701

Tuesday's storm over the Waikato caused havoc for some locals, including Clem Newby whose cows were struck by lightning. The dairy farmer said he heard a "hell of a bang" before finding four cows had died when hit by lightning. You can read the full story here, please note however there is a graphic warning on this story as some images may be upsetting.
"The lightning was just horrific and it really frightened myself. I had never heard anything like it in my life and it really shook the cowshed," says Clem.
The storm caused power outages, school closures, and flash flooding. Even some houses were hit by lightning. So, what was it like at your place? Have you ever seen a storm like this in the Waikato before? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below.
