HCC want to remove trees in Howell Ave that were agreed to be retained!
Roadworks are underway for the Te Awa cycleway down the North end of Howell Ave right now. The HCC, Te Awa cycle Trust and residents directly affected all agreed that the 4 trees along the section between 97 Howell and down are to be retained.
( Please see the attached HCC plan given to the residents dated 2 September 2021 saying the trees are being retained.)
Why have the HCC reverted back to their original plan to remove the trees now that construction is happening and not honouring the agreed upon plan.
Please HCC honour your published plan!!

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: What do you think of the new police move-on powers?
Central Hamilton businesses are welcoming police being given new powers to move on vagrants, with a city retail advocate saying the previous hands-off approach wasn’t working.
On Sunday the Government announced it would grant police powers to order any individual rough sleeping, begging, or displaying disorderly behaviour to move on.
