I have to disagree with you. I do not think its fair and equitable for all ratepayers to contribute to the "Regional Theatre"in Hamilton.
If you want a Regional Theatre fund it from Hamilton.This is not the domain of the Regional Council and I very much doubt that the people of Hamilton want it. This would stand empty a great deal of the time.
I just cannot picture the people of the Region travelling from Putaruru,
Tokoroa, Taupo, Thames, Te Aroha to patronise it. Most of those places have their own theatres which they fund themselves, and not out of rates. I am sure there are more important things to worry about than a Regional Theatre. If our council has agreed to this, as is indicated in the article in the Taupo Times on 27 March, I think they need to clear their heads.

Wharewaka is getting a new footpath but the Mayor says if anyone else feels like they need one too they should put their case forward to the council. Where do you think the town needs a footpath? Please write NFP [not for print] if you don't want your comments used in the Taupō Times.
It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 it’s 1 in 2.
Having a fall can be devastating and can often result in a broken bone, which is painful and can take a long time to heal stopping us from doing the things we love.
The good news is that many falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer aims to help reduce the risk of having a fall so we can live an independent and active life.
Having good strength and balance is key to staying on your feet. You can find approved community strength and balance classes in your area and practical information, advice, and resources on reducing the risk of falls.
Live Stronger for Longer and join the movement today.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQSC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Hi Waikato,
Do you think the 100kmh speed limit on our roads is too fast? A Landmark report is suggesting our rural roads should be reduced to 70kmh. So, is it a good idea? Reply, and let us know.
