Poll: Did the shorter free parking period change how much you go to the CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Key Hamilton mayoral race contender Tim Macindoe is backing reverting to two hours free parking in the CBD but his centre-left rival Sarah Thomson isn’t keen.

Last year’s change to just one-hour free between 8am and 8pm Monday to Saturday was designed to encourage more turnover at short-stay parks to theoretically benefit the likes of retailers. The free CBD on-street parking is due to be phased out completely next year.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new
