We Say/You Say: Safer Streets?
Kia ora Hamilton,
Do you want to see the Innovating Streets initiative rolled out around your neighbourhood?
A trial by the Hamilton City Council to close off two streets to vehicles will soon be over.
The $902,000 trial ends on July 3. It currently sees the closure of a portion of Ward St and completely closes Rostrevor St to traffic.
Some business owners and staff made their dissatisfaction known at a meeting with council staff after experiencing a loss of custom.
Advocates for the trial included Bike Waikato chairman Richard Porter, who said that cyclists were making the most of no traffic.

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble
Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's
signature Rhubarb Crumble.
This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with
Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a
scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.
