'This is not the way to finish my life', octogenarian says
After “intolerable” behaviour from a neighbour, a Kāinga Ora tenant locks herself indoors most days.
The woman is in her 80s and has spent 15 years in the Hamilton East spot, but says it “feels like a prison” due to a neighbour of three years.

Time for a clear-out?
Delve back into that garage or wardrobe! It's time to sell your gently-loved goods at The Neighbourly Winter (online!) Garage Sale
On Saturday 6th July, members will be online checking out the goods on offer so it's a great time to get rid of your winter clutter.
Maybe it's time to realise that you're never going to use that snowboard or ski jacket, and that you really do have one too many heaters. Whatever it is, take a picture and put it on Neighbourly for locals to see.

What do you make of these comments?
Hamilton councillor Andrew Bydder believes it’s ‘absolutely acceptable’ for his constituents to hurl profanity laden abuse at him in order to get him to do his job.
And he contended lowering debate among the city’s leaders around the council table to a similar prison-yard level could ‘improve governance’.
The comments come after an expletive laden submission Bydder sent to neighbouring Waipā District Council over constructing a third bridge in Cambridge.
