Poll: What do you think should happen?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A bid to turn a historic former munitions facility into a crafting hub has won some city council backing, and the possibility of cash with it.

Hamilton City Council had earmarked $200,000 earmarked for the demolition of an old facility on Flynn Park in Hamilton East. A group of councillors wants to redirect that to a proposed revamp led by the Waikato Guild of Woodworkers.

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.
