Poll: Do you use all-day CBD parking?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

On-street all-day parking rates at some central city locations will become cheaper for workers and other long-stay visitors parking in central Hamilton.

Starting on Monday, Hamilton City Council introduced lower pricing at selected all-day parking locations where occupancy is below 85% making it more cost-effective for those looking to park in the city longer every day.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waipā District Council says the government’s “one size fits all” proposal to cap rate rises could disproportionately harm fast-growing councils such as Waipā.

On Wednesday, Strategic Planning and Policy committee members debated the council’s submission on the proposed rates cap model.
