Poll: Do you think bylaws are the right option?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Gone are the golden days of wrap-around services and showering in the CBD’s fountains for Hamilton’s streeties, with new bylaws on the way to “take back the CBD”.

Ewan Wilson, Hamilton City west ward councillor says the “soft-touch” approach that’s been taken by the council to address the anti-social behaviour in the CBD isn’t working, and anti-social behaviour is “eroding“ the “essence of the city”.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.

Leaving Neighbourly

Orlando from Pukete

Hey everyone, just a quick note to say I’m leaving Neighbourly. I joined because I thought it would be a good way to connect with people in the community, especially the older generation, and to receive advice, help, and shared knowledge.

Over time I’ve made quite a few posts genuinely looking for help or guidance, and unfortunately I’ve rarely received any responses. Most of the time it’s just one or two likes and no actual comments or help, which gets pretty discouraging after a while.

I understand people are busy, but when you consistently put things out there and hear almost nothing back, it starts to feel like there’s no real point in being part of the platform. Because of that, I’ve decided it’s best for me to move on.

No hard feelings — just not the right fit for me. Wishing everyone all the best.
