Do you agree that businesses are feeling more positive?
Despite national headlines about sinking business confidence, Waikato Chamber of Commerce members are more positive - at least the small number who shared their thoughts.
In a just released newsletter, the chamber reports “remarkably positive” local survey results for the June quarter in Waikato.

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.

Poll: Do you enjoy doing home renovations?
An “iconic” Hamilton home overlooking the river on one of the city’s most prestigious streets is on the market after a stunning transformation inside and out.
Located at 28 Awatere Avenue, the 327m2 abode now boasts a brand new exterior, an engineer-designed pool and an interior that has undergone a complete refit.
