Poll: What's your take on Hamilton's CBD parking rules?
Central city retailers back a call to return to two free hours of street parking in Hamilton’s CBD, saying it’ll be easier for customers to visit and boost foot traffic.
Mayoral race contender Tim Macindoe this week made a fresh push to revert to the system, saying there had been complaints the current one-hour regime and heavier fines are scaring people away from the CBD.

Leaving Neighbourly
Hey everyone, just a quick note to say I’m leaving Neighbourly. I joined because I thought it would be a good way to connect with people in the community, especially the older generation, and to receive advice, help, and shared knowledge.
Over time I’ve made quite a few posts genuinely looking for help or guidance, and unfortunately I’ve rarely received any responses. Most of the time it’s just one or two likes and no actual comments or help, which gets pretty discouraging after a while.
I understand people are busy, but when you consistently put things out there and hear almost nothing back, it starts to feel like there’s no real point in being part of the platform. Because of that, I’ve decided it’s best for me to move on.
No hard feelings — just not the right fit for me. Wishing everyone all the best.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
