Poll: What should NZTA do with the intersection of SH1 and SH29 between Hamilton and Tauranga?

Matt Bowen Reporter from Waikato Times

Morning neighbours,

Angst is rising over what can be a busy and risky intersection on the way to Tauranga. At a public meeting this week, locals called for a roundabout to be installed.

NZTA, however, hasn't made any decisions, yet it did confirm it's looking into it.

What would you like to see happen with the intersection?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Derelict Tokanui Hospital site in line for a clean-up

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
