Poll: Do you use all-day CBD parking?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

On-street all-day parking rates at some central city locations will become cheaper for workers and other long-stay visitors parking in central Hamilton.

Starting on Monday, Hamilton City Council introduced lower pricing at selected all-day parking locations where occupancy is below 85% making it more cost-effective for those looking to park in the city longer every day.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
