Poll: What do you think of National's roading plans?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Leader Christopher Luxon was in Hamilton on Monday to announce a $1.3b cash injection for Waikato roads - as part of a national plan for investment in roads and infrastructure.

If elected, the party's plans include an extension of the Waikato Expressway from Cambridge to Piarere and money for the Southern Links Project.

Poll: Are you worried about safety and crime in your neighbourhood?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

An 84-year-old was left www.waikatotimes.co.nz...
|feeling insecure and vulnerable in one of Hamilton’s “bad neighbourhoods” after police cut down her wire fence chasing suspected robbers|.

More than four months after the incident the woman, who mostly lives by herself, says she is “disgusted with the police” and their lack of action - especially as her section backs onto a gully often used as a thoroughfare for people up to no good.

In a strange twist, police contacted her son about the repairs only hours after being approached by the Waikato Times for comment.
