Poll: What do you think about this roading move?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A battle over 28 seconds has erupted into vandalism, outrage, and division on a quiet Tamahere street, after “vigilantes” ripped out traffic-calming measures installed by the district council.

Matthew Scarborough and Lauren McLean, who live on Birchwood Lane with their three children, say the act has undermined years of constructive work by residents who had been advocating for road safety.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
