A huge increase in unwanted cats is putting Hamilton rescue centres under severe strain, with one saying the surge has “wiped out” their foster volunteer network.

The upsurge comes at the same time as the city council has slashed its desexing grant in half, with no guarantee it won’t be cut further as the city looks to trim costs.

A review that could determine the future of Te Huia train service is nearly complete, and some promising data is emerging.

The review of the Hamilton-Auckland train will influence whether Waka Kotahi keeps funding the trial beyond the middle of the year - but it won’t be ready for this Friday’s multi-agency Future Proof public transport sub-committee hui, as initially indicated.

Instead, the New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi board will see it first, and a date for that isn’t yet confirmed.
