Have you seen Rusty?

Sinead from Te Kowhai

Hi folks I know this is a long shot however our cat Rusty has gone by the looks of it for a bit of a wander and our guess is she may have stepped in to explore someone's shed without realising it and has been locked inside for the night?

We had her around us at 2pm yesterday and has not been seen since. We expected her to pop home at some point in the morning however she never came in which is why we expect she has probably been locked inside somewhere.

Her name is Rusty. We're located on Horotiu Road down near the Vege Shop so we don't imagine her wandering very far but we would really like our fur baby home.

If anyone has a spare moment during the day I would love it if you could please just pop your head in your shed or garage to see if she may have wandered in there.

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?

Wild weather in the Waikato

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.

While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.

We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?

Starting gun sounds for housing on Te Rapa Racecourse land with re-zoning

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton City councillors have signed off on a plan change that could see Te Rapa Racecourse swap stables for townhouses.

The deputy mayor says this paves the way for “basically creating a new suburb within the city”.
