These are Matakanohi Reserve, Grantham St car park, Pine Beach and Fairfield Esplanade.

The council says path users should not enter these parks, particularly if the gates are closed.

Safety counts – assessing safety features when buying a car

Enterprise Motor Group Hamilton

If you’re in the process of buying a car you’re probably busy considering all the features and fittings that you’d like to invest in. Are you keen on a bigger engine or fatter tyres? Or perhaps you’re prioritising interior space so you can fit in the kids, the dog, and the weekly shop.

Everyone approaches car buying with their own unique set of priorities. If you haven’t already, it’s worth adding safety to your list. Choosing the safest car you can afford is an investment in your own personal wellbeing and that of your passengers. And because it’s a key part of how insurance companies calculate their rates, it could also save you money.

Reply to Earthquake

Jamie from Nawton

Just saying that by now we would have heard it all over the news.

I have to say this is the first real earthquake that I've felt in Hamilton in 45 years other than the sudden jolt or rumble of tea cups. I feel quite unequipped to deal with an earthquake in terms of where to go (Civil Defence) how to help and what to take with me. So I'm going to make it my business to find out and become more equipped for a disaster. Starting with my Community centre.
