They were in Matamata-Piako District (24.1 per cent), Ōtorohanga District (25.1 per cent), Waikato District (30.6 per cent), and Hamilton City (33.6 per cent).
Suggested reasons include uncontested races, apathy, and people not knowing how to vote or feeling disconnected from their council.

Hamilton City Council’s arborists need to prune and remove trees on a steep roadside bank on Memorial Dr, meaning a section of the road will be closed this Wednesday (4 September).

Memorial Dr connects River Rd and Anzac Pde, and is one of the city’s busier roads. It’s also a popular parking location for people who work in the central business district.

The Council’s arborists have identified dead, diseased and dying trees and noxious on a steep bank at the Anzac Pde end of Memorial Dr, and the most efficient way for the team to get the work done is a closure of Memorial Dr for the day.

The closure will commence at 7am and be lifted at 3pm. Traffic will be detoured via Te Aroha St and Grey St.

Memorial Dr residents who live in the road closure are will still have access to their homes, and pedestrians and cyclists will be able to get past the work site via Memorial Park and Parana Park.

Mental Health + Well-Being - September 1st to 30th 🧠

Did you know, 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they never have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

Did you know, 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they never have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.

Don’t forget, this month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (23 - 29 September) and Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th.

However you choose to take part, feel free to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:
