Four freedom camping ambassadors will be out and about this summer to assist and advise freedom campers across the district.

High profile areas like Hipapatua (Reid's Farm) will be attended regularly as well as other areas and reserves, including Turangi and Mangakino.

Head of community, culture and heritage, Dylan Tahau said the ambassadors will be advising campers on how long they can stay, what to do with refuse, local alcohol bylaws, and how to take care of our environment by not washing in our lakes and rivers and using designated toilet facilities.

"This is a great step to continue to look after our taonga and the place we love," he said.

Can anyone recommend someone who can fix a leaky roof?

Kim from South Waikato District

Hi everyone
After the last big rain we had last week part of my roof fell onto my bed.
It is rotted and the bats are rotted. Have included pics.
Can anyone recommend a competitively priced tradie to fix leaky roof? It looks like one small section of the roof.
Cheers
Kim
