Poll: Did you want a liquor store here?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Plans to open a new bottle store in Hamilton’s Nawton Shopping Centre have been blocked, with red flags raised over alcohol-related harm and the applicant’s track record.

Deol Enterprises 2012 Limited had applied for an off-licence to operate from the former Smugglers Nawton site – the same premises where a liquor licence was declined in 2023.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
