Poll: Do you think the six-week South Waikato closure is needed?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

www.waikatotimes.co.nz...
|The country’s main north/south artery is set to be cut south of Tokoroa for six weeks|, sparking disbelief from the truckies and workers using it daily and now facing long detours.

They say they don’t understand why State Highway 1 between Tokoroa and Kinleith has to be closed, and felt proposed detours were unsuitable to handle the tens of thousands of extra vehicles using them during the closure.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
