Have you been past the old theatre lately?
It was a spectacle that would have thrilled anyone’s inner three-year-old.
And, on Tuesday afternoon, some actual three and two-year-olds were lucky enough to be among those looking on as a pair of gigantic orange demolition excavators tore into the northern wall of Hamilton’s Founders Theatre in the manner of ravenous monsters.

'We are re-litigating it' - Dissent coming at city council plan meet
It’s involved significant financial fireworks over conflicting opinions but Hamilton City Council’s 2024-34 long term plan (LTP) is now set to narrowly get the nod for adoption on Thursday.
But several senior councillors warn it won’t all be plain sailing for mayor Paula Southgate and her supporters, even if they have the numbers for their approach.

Have you heard the news about this Flagstaff project?
Plans for a controversial social housing development in Flagstaff have been put on ice as the country’s biggest landlord reviews a series of planned housing projects in Hamilton.
The 60-home Kāinga Ora housing complex on 1.9 hectares of vacant Crown-owned land in Endeavour Avenue, next to the Flagstaff shops, was originally set to be 70 two and three-storey homes but was scaled back after feedback from the community.
