Poll: Have you ever started a petition?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A barber says she’s “shocked” her 500-signature petition calling for a return to two hours of free parking in the CBD won’t lead to a formal city council report, even though general information on it will be passed on.

Barber on Barton owner Gini Berggren’s petition was handed over to the council in late May by councillor Tim Macindoe, who’s campaigning for going back to two hours free.

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.
