Poll: Do you think stronger bylaws will make a difference?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Bylaws to counter antisocial behaviour in Hamilton’s CBD sparked fiery debate on Thursday, but city council staff admitted they are unlikely to be enforced - ever.

The amended bylaws mean a breach could technically result in fines of up to $20,000 for sleeping on a park bench, but officials said prosecutions have never happened and probably never will.

‘Simply irresponsible’: Wallaby likely kept as pet in Hamilton, regional council says

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A wallaby spotted in Hamilton was probably kept as a pet, the regional council says - and that’s “simply irresponsible”.

The dama wallaby, which had an immature joey in its pouch, was spotted in Frankton on March 3, reported and killed, Waikato Regional Council says.
