Storey Avenue Chicane

Sue from Glenview

Recently our community Hall at 8 Storey Ave has been identified as having a traffic chicane to be added to the front road access to the building.
While we all recognise that traffic is fast through all streets in Hamilton the siting of this one is causing us all concern as we have not been able to convince the council that it will seriously impact our community users.
It will block access to our disabled park and leaves no room for us to load or unload items as we often do. Can you all please look at the pictures and help us by convincing the council to adjust the siting to allow free access to our community hall.
Contact the council by email: roads@hcc.govt.nz or calling Richard Teeuwenon 072450094.

feedback needs be by Friday 12th August 5pm.
We value your support.
Dave Jones .. Woodturner.

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.
