Poll: What do you think, should the church be allowed to demolish it?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Despite interest in using it for everything from “occult activities” to a wedding venue, a derelict 120-year-old Waihī church faces the wrecking ball.

There were many ideas for the historic St James’ Presbyterian Church through the years, according information supplied with the bid for demolition, but high costs and heritage complications put people off the earthquake prone building.

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

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

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? 🍫
