Do you like the idea of growing kai in community gardens?
Green-fingered forays during Covid lockdowns have led to the creation of a new community garden - in a roadside green.

Are you waiting for a hip replacement?
We're having a look at wait times and are keen to talk to someone who's on the list to get a hip replaced.

But what's it like in Waikato? If you're happy to share your experience, please email news@waikatotimes.co.nz with hip replacement in the subject line.

Poll: Do you think central government should help Maungatautari?
The country’s flagship mainland ecological island project has only two months to find half a million dollars before cutting back its vital conservation work or letting staff go.
The future for Maungatautari Sanctuary Mountain looks increasingly uncertain, with Jobs for Nature funding ending this month, a $150,000 overdraft, and requests for additional support from the Department of Conservation being so far unsuccessful.
“We need central government to come to the table," manager Helen Hughes says.
