What you do you think about what happened to the Ohinemuri River?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

As the orange hue fades from the water of a Waikato river, Hauraki’s mayor says it seems someone reopened the boarded-up old mine behind the problem.

Testing of the potentially toxic contamination is getting started, though Waikato Regional Council says an investigation will take time.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Poll: Do you think the dogs should be able to run free at this garden centre?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A dispute over dogs at a Paeroa garden centre has led to a $300 fine, neighbours honking air horns, spying allegations and questions over whether a business is a “public place”.

Donna Jamieson’s three dogs are her world, and part of the Country Dog Garden Centre experience.

However, various people have complained to Hauraki District Council about barking and off-leash dogs at the business. The council says they can’t be, and recently fined Jamieson $300 for a breach.

What do you think of the new visitor centre?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s Hamilton Gardens as you’ve never seen it before, and unless you live in the area, it will now cost you a little more.

The new Gallagher Visitor Centre opened to the media on Tuesday, after months of work.
