Poll: Have you been to an event at Claudelands?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Despite a dip in delegate headcounts Hamilton’s Claudelands events centre insists it’s going gangbusters, securing repeat bookings and taking business off other main centres.⁠
⁠
On Monday, in response to Waikato Times queries, the city council said that in June-August 2023 there were 9588 delegates attending business events at Claudelands, and 8829 in the same period this year.⁠

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
