Poll: Have you ever been in Hamilton's Christmas parade?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Santa’s sleigh will still roll through Hamilton this December — but for the first time, community groups will need to pay to be part of the parade.

Organisers of the First Credit Union Christmas Parade have introduced a $50 entry fee for groups wanting to put a float on show, alongside a $300 charge for businesses. Schools will still be able to enter free.

Poll: How are fuel prices affecting you?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

We’re taking the bus or the train and trucking companies are getting slammed with price rises to simply stay on the road.

Welcome to the world of $3 a litre plus for fuel.

As the average price of 91 octane petrol across the country rose to $3.32/L at the start of the working week and politicians nervously eyed storage figures, Waikato households feeling the strain were offered little but hope.
