An update from your Hamilton-based Labour list MP

Jamie Neighbourly Lead from Chartwell

Hi everyone, I would like to wish all those living, working, raising families, and doing business in our region a very Happy New year. I hope 2018 will be your best year yet!

Hi everyone, I would like to wish all those living, working, raising families, and doing business in our region a very Happy New year. I hope 2018 will be your best year yet!

Here is an update on some local issues I have been working on since becoming an MP four months ago:

1. Commuter rail between Auckland and Hamilton with free WiFi: I have been working with Mayor King, Councillor Macpherson and HCC staff to progress this. The government see it as a priority for unlocking more of Hamilton's potential. I'm hopeful the passenger train will be up and running by the end of this year.

2. Community Policing: The Minister for Police, Stuart Nash, will be consulting with police officers around the country over the next few months. We will then see a decision on this. As most of you will know, I campaigned strongly on the return of community policing, as we have a number of empty police stations in our region. The Minister will likely be visiting Hamilton in early February.

3. Roading: All local motorway projects are continuing as they were before the election. NZTA's current local priorities are: Complete Waikato Expressway (35 minutes off trip Auckland to Tirau), investigate Southern Links (completing Hamilton ringroad) and Cambridge to Pairere (turnoff to Tauranga), improve safety around various blackspots.

Blackspot on cnr Gordonton and Thomas Roads: I have been working with Councillors Macpherson, Casson, Bunting, HCC staff and NZTA regarding a permanent solution for this. The Councillors above have done great work on this already. I am also aware of other blackspots in our region that need attention.

4. Housing: I have been working with various local groups around the potential for a number of KiwiBuild houses in Hamilton (affordable housing for first home buyers). Good progress is being made on this.

5. General policies: One year free tertiary study (two years for apprenticeships), offshore buyers of existing houses banned, contributions re-started to the Superannuation Fund (currently $35b), an inquiry into mental health started, Family Tax Package passed through Parliament (to begin in July).

Please feel free to email me: jamie.strange@parliament.govt.nz if you would like any further information, or if I can be of any assistance.

There is increasing demand for our services, but we cannot expand into more facilities without more volunteers. we need musicians and also general helpers, who do not have to be able to sing or play an instrument. Groups are weekly and last an hour. If you can sing or play the kind of instrument that best accompanies singing, and know a range of old songs, your role is to encourage participants to sing along with you - some of our group facilitators play piano, others play guitar, ukelele or another instrument. You don't have to be a concert musician - it's more like a party sing-along! Your helper will help residents get up and dance or play the percussion instruments we provide (shakers etc). Volunteers receive training and work in consultation with a Registered Music Therapist. If you are interested, Phone Margaret 022 6517166. Information about MMMT and its work is available on our website, Facebook page and the newsletter attached to this message.
