Poll: Do you think amalgamating councils is a good idea?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Thames-Coromandel District’s new mayor has thrown cold water on the idea of combining with other Waikato councils.

Peter Revell questioned the savings and service benefits of amalgamation, and noted that the top of the Coromandel peninsula was a long way from anywhere.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
