Poll: Do you think Hamilton's airport should have extended its runway?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The company behind Hamilton-Kirikiriroa Airport has ditched plans to make the runway longer.

The airport boss says expert reports showed “no compelling argument” and international flights can be accommodated if the airlines want. But a Hamilton city councillor and airline figure said the decision makes the airport “an aviation backwater".

Do you think the airport should have a runway extension?

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Tenants trash home, spray graffiti inside and outside

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Hamilton landlord has been awarded thousands of dollars after tenants left a rental property riddled with graffiti, damage and piles of abandoned furniture, then failed to show up to their own Tenancy Tribunal hearing.

The Tenancy Tribunal has ordered two former tenants of the Inverness Ave property to pay $2,585.83 after their bond was applied to cover unpaid rent, cleaning, rubbish removal, lock changes and repairs.
