Poll: What would you like to see changed to make Hamilton more cycle friendly?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Waikato Times

Hi neighbours,
There's a big change coming for one of Hamilton's key bridges, and bikes will benefit.
Claudelands Bridge will get a lower speed limit, some separate cycleways and new road markings to help two-wheeled travellers get over the river safely.

So we wanted to know, what would you like to see changed to make Hamilton more cycle friendly?

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
