Poll: Will you give Tipsy Putt a go?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

After sitting vacant and dark for three years, the old Lone Star site premises directly opposite the Waikato Regional Theatre has been transformed into a world of movie themed mini golf... with booze on the menu.

The site is Hamilton hospitality veteran John Lawrenson’s newest venture and he said the soft opening attracted a crowd bigger than he had anticipated.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Derelict Tokanui Hospital site in line for a clean-up

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
