Hamilton intersection traffic light upgrades
A notorious Hamilton intersection will undergo upgrades from the start of October with traffic lights being installed to be finished by Christmas. The Thomas and Gordonton Rd intersection has been the subject of public outcry after a number crashes. The upgrades includes new traffic islands to separate vehicle turning lanes, with traffic lights to allow traffic a safe exit from Thomas Rd.
In conjunction with the intersection upgrade Hamilton City Council has dropped the speed limit of a section of the Gordonton Rd corridor to 30km/h while work is on-going. A permanent speed reduction to 60km/h from 80 km/h will come into effect 10 October 2018.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
