Poll: Would a Māori tourism centre by the gardens keep visitors in Hamilton longer?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

A proposed Māori tourism centre near Hamilton Gardens is seen by some as a game changer for the city.
Do you agree?
Waikato Tainui has made the suggestion to Hamilton City Council as the council nuts out a revamp of the gardens.
Mayor Andrew King said a busload of tourists visiting the gardens would also be able to pre-book a cultural show at the same place.
He hoped it would encourage more visitors into overnight stays, instead of a stop on the way to another destination.

Poll: What do you think about the new rules for nangs?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Retailers selling “laughing gas” for recreational purposes can now be prosecuted but the message isn’t getting through to some Hamilton retailers.

A Waikato Times reporter was able to buy a pack of 10 silver bullets at two, out of six stores they enquired at, in Hamilton.
