Poll: Have you been to the market's new Chartwell location?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A food vendor’s turning her back on the Hamilton Night Market after a manager “screamed at” her staff member.

However, the market director says the staffer wouldn’t move a caravan blocking the set-up at the new Chartwell location. “Sometimes you have to yell,” Paul de Jonge said.
