When it was dark, my brothers would pick me up and we would walk the streets... I hated school and wanted to drop out early.

Then I was introduced to a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme for young people that need a boost in life. It helped me build my self-confidence and social skills.

We were paired with a mentor, my mentor Tony believed in me like no one else. Because of him I stayed in school, went to university and now have a full time job.

Hamilton City Council has started with three streets - and some local business owners are hoping to see the end of gatherings that have left debris and rubbish.

The special paint is described as a "high friction surface" that makes it harder to lose traction.

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?
