What do you think about this car park's condition?
A Tokoroa local says the car park at Tokoroa Hospital is a “third world” shambles and is not a good look for the town’s public medical centre.
Olaf Langhenkel said the state of the car park, which is riddled with potholes and past attempts at repair, had been deteriorating for around five years and nothing had been done about it.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
