Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The woman, who only wants to be known as Christine for privacy reasons, had done some of her Christmas shopping at the Hamilton precinct on December 16 when she was returning to her car.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton City Council is pledging to cut costs and avoid “gold plating” infrastructure as part of a new strategy to limit rates increases, but Mayor Tim Macindoe says central government support may be needed to meet a new national rates cap.
