Poll: Do you use the bus system?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Hamilton councillors have put off a vote on in-principle support for potential bus service changes, with some seeing red flags and a potential “Trojan horse”.

Proposed ideas included a new Rototuna high frequency service, and replacing the Orbiter with a Northern Link and a Southern Link.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Crown-owned subsidence property has come on the market, but whether potential buyers reckon it’s a bargain or risky buy is yet to be seen.

While some might view the Huntly east property as a bargain, Huntly real estate agents reckoned living on top of the mining zone makes some buyers nervous they’re going to “just sink one day”. Although, the agents are fairly confident the area is safe.
