Trash talk

Reporter Hamilton Press

Do neighbours prefer to use bins or bags when it come to rubbish collection? Council is reviewing the way it collects your rubbish, with a view towards more recycling. Check out this video link and let us know what you think. We're keen to gather your opinions for a story in the coming weeks!
UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who has commented on this subject. Just a note from the Hamilton City Council to verify that submissions to its review on this topic closed late last year. The next step will be working towards a hearing where all of the submission will be considered by the council in the coming months.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
