Poll: Do you think Te Rapa needs more food options?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Food joints are growing on the old industrial sites of Te Rapa.

Construction has begun to transform 675 Te Rapa Rd from the old Total Hire car park to a drive-through Popeyes and Starbucks that is set to open in 2025.

Meanwhile, a new local dumpling house is set to open right opposite it from Monday.

Poll: Have you ever had a Healthy Homes inspection done where you live?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Conflicting Healthy Homes inspection reports are raising concerns about the consistency of standards meant to ensure rental properties are safe and liveable.

In one recent case, a Cambridge rental property underwent two inspections within a week, with significantly different outcomes. The first, arranged by tenant Sara Lewis, identified multiple issues including mould, vermin, and ventilation concerns. A second inspection, arranged by property managers Harcourts, just six days later, found little to criticise.
