At the end of the day; the baby/child is the main priority in terms of safety

Dianne from Hamilton East

A woman this week was given her bub back, who had been taken from her, due to serious concerns for the babies safety and wellbeing. May she and her partner continue to grow and succeed in the demanding role that is parenting......however

I truly believe that too many babies have died and continue to die or are horrifically abused to allow emotion to cloud the number one priority:- The child, te pepe. It is imperative that these defenceless babies/children are the first and last reasons for any decisions made in terms of uplift or staying.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.

At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.

One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
