Ruakura Road closure - follow up
It was good to see that by Tuesday they had changed the green light cycles for traffic turning right from east Clyde street onto Wairere drive going north to around 8 seconds and 14 seconds. Still not long but a good improvement.
Now all they have to do is make the strip next to Clyde Park a 'no-parking' zone for the duration so cars that want to go straight ahead on Clyde street don't have to sit behind those waiting to turn right, thus reducing the queue for the traffic lights.
As a 'by the way' , most cars parked there belong to the police officers working out of the office across the road.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

Poll: Do you think this farming-solar combo idea will be popular?
It’s farming, but not as we know it.
Sheep are grazing under solar panels in a Waikato first that could become more common as farmers look to diversify their incomes.
