Te Kowhai News - May issue now available
Attached is the May issue of the Te Kowhai News.
This is the first issue of the new-look design. Printed copies (being delivered to RD8 today) will all have colour covers and inside and out which means all the great photos from the community will be in colour.
I hope you like the new look magazine.
In this issue:
• "I don’t know much…” interview with Dame Malvina Major.
• School Quiz night – the highlight of my annual social calendar ;o) - on 30 June.
** NOT on 1 July as stated in printed copies of the magazine. **
• Update on the new sub-developments and zone changes coming our way.
• Stranger danger as Te Pahu School kids attempted abduction.
• All the usual local news and events.
Please do keep Te Kowhai News in mind should you have anything news worthy to share. Anything from local interesting stories, anecdotes, sporting or academic achievements, new businesses that need a bit of profile, good things and not so good things going on in your area. Send me photos if you can or just get in touch and we can work it out.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.
Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
