Gary Farrow Reporter from Cambridge Edition

This Sunday just gone, to commemorate the centenary of the end of World War One, an Armistice Day event was put on in Cambridge, as happens every year.

But where to from here? Do you think the community should continue to pay such regular homages to those who served? And why do you think World War One is so important to Cambridge, as opposed to other towns, such as Hamilton, Te Awamutu and other places in New Zealand? It would be great to hear your feedback.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
