Kia ora Hamilton – It’s Tama Potaka
Approaching my 170th day as your MP for Hamilton West, I have actively engaged with our community, listening to your concerns.
The rising cost of living, rampant crime, strained hospitals, and emergency housing crisis are challenges that I recognise. Together with my team, we have collaborated with community groups and held meetings with local nurses and the Hamilton Police, among others. Our hard work continues, and we will be organising public meetings throughout our electorate, addressing the pressing issues.
Join us on July 5th at 6:30pm at Western Community Centre, where Mark Mitchell will discuss crime in our community.
For any inquiries, please contact my team at Potaka.office@parliament.govt.nz or 07 834 3407. Kia kaha Hamilton West.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

Poll: Would you shop at a Te Rapa Pak'nSave?
The long-awaited Pak’nSave development in Te Rapa has hit another roadblock, with a speed limit reversal leaving the project “at significant risk”.
Hamilton City Council approved the supermarket with conditions including a controversial speed limit reduction to 60kph on Wairere Drive.
Would you shop at a Te Rapa Pak'nSave? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
