Poll: Do you think bylaws are the right option?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Gone are the golden days of wrap-around services and showering in the CBD’s fountains for Hamilton’s streeties, with new bylaws on the way to “take back the CBD”.

Ewan Wilson, Hamilton City west ward councillor says the “soft-touch” approach that’s been taken by the council to address the anti-social behaviour in the CBD isn’t working, and anti-social behaviour is “eroding“ the “essence of the city”.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
