Pay it Forward - Library Food Bank Drive
We are starting our journey on Neighbourly by sharing some good news with Hamiltonians! We have said goodbye to overdue fines for our Junior and Young Adult collections! To celebrate the fee removal and waiving of outstanding fees, we are running a month-long 'pay it forward' campaign in partnership with Waikato Women's Refuge - Te Whakaruruhau. A foodbank drive, running from each of our six libraries, will be open for non-perishable donations between now and 1 August. Got any questions? Let us know!
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
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.

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
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.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
