He lived in the white farm house on the hill . I remember him saying to me about the one i were looking at. It is a full quarter acre section and the price is six hundred and sixty four pounds. I bought it on the spot. Bruce Mills of what was Lugton & Mills real estate. Bruce who i knew very well said to me why did you buy a section out in the Wop What's place. It is miles out of Hamilton.How very true.With me been a builder, Joinery and Carpentry . In 1958 i designed and built our house. We had a very good view's of every where from our bedroom window. It was 199. Ohaupo Road. We did not have any water but did have a septic tank we were in the Waipa District . On the hill not far past Splits house they started to bore for water and found it 123 feet below the surface.That was just fine for the people living on the flat sections they got some water. But not for us on the high ground . If those on the low ground were running their water we did not get enough to flush our toilet or make as cup of teas. How ever when we became part of Hamilton City things changed with plenty of water . Last week i got a shock when i saw our old family house of 60 years since i built it been demolished in the name of progress and leaving my family and i with lots of happy memories when it was our family home for about 10 years. Ohaupo Road was going to be made in to a 3 or 4 lane road, That is why there is the side lane now.For when the Queen Mother visited Hamilton. It was started but did not continued with it . The Queen Mother Bless her on her way to Hamilton stopped out side the Melville Primary School. What a thrill is was for the children to see our Queen Mother. Hope some people find this found this interesting History of Ohaupo Road .Like i do.

Anyone interested in helping set up a community pantry? I am located in portal crescent and was thinking of setting one up close to the school back exit on alanbrook. Unsure yet where abouts would be best for everyone to easily access.

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.
So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

Hamilton City Council will roll out its new wheeled bin and more recycling options service from July 2020, which includes replacing the current black bag collection with separate wheeled bins for rubbish and recycling, a smaller separate food waste collection bin and using the existing recycling crates for glass only.
Waste Minimisation Advisor Charlotte Catmur says the current recycling service, which was established in 2002, is no longer ‘fit for purpose’ so the new service will be a major step forward for the city aligning it with other leading Councils in New Zealand. As part of the new service there will be assisted collections to help physically impaired or elderly residents and special services for intensive housing areas that cannot be serviced effectively through this kerbside collection service.
The new service is designed to increase Hamilton’s recycling rate from 29 per cent (by weight) to 50 per cent, which would mean diverting more than 100,000 tonnes of waste from landfill in the 10 years from 2020/21.
