Poll: One-way door policy in our city

Kelley Tantau Reporter from Hamilton Press

The Waikato District Health Board, backed by the police, have renewed their support for a one-way door policy governing Hamilton's restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs.
But it could take more than six months before Hamilton City Council can revisit the idea. What are your thoughts? Should Hamilton have a 1am exit-only policy? Vote in our poll and comment below.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
