Erich says he thinks he’s inspired other people with a disability to take on training.

Poll: Have you seen vandalism around your area?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Vandals’ repeated attacks on Nawton’s destination playground could force the council to close some of the attractions.

Hamilton’s troubled destination playground is closed once again after more vandalism, with repairs expected to be completed sometime next month.
