Poll: Have you got a whiff of weed when travelling through this roundabout?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The pungent aroma around Waikato’s ‘weed roundabout’ has also been noticed by police, at least according to one person living near to the new, $60m Piarere roundabout.

In the wake of reporting the noticeable, pungent cannabis like smell wafting around the new roundabout - something the New Zealand Transport Agency, and social media users have picked up on - the Waikato Times approached a number of properties close to the site.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
