Poll: Were you cold this morning?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton has shivered through its coldest morning of the year so far, plunging to -3.2C overnight - the lowest temperature recorded in the city this winter.

But the chilliest spot in the Waikato region wasn’t Hamilton. That title went to Taupō, which dropped to -4.6C on Friday morning, the lowest reading across the region this winter.

One size fits all rates cap model ‘unworkable’, says Waipā DC

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waipā District Council says the government’s “one size fits all” proposal to cap rate rises could disproportionately harm fast-growing councils such as Waipā.

On Wednesday, Strategic Planning and Policy committee members debated the council’s submission on the proposed rates cap model.

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.
