Do you think the council made the right call on restricting new developments?
Hamilton’s overloaded sewer pipes have scuttled about 750 potential developments in a little over two years, council figures show.
The sewerage situation prompted a city council clamp-down in 2023, effectively shutting down development in large parts of the city to avoid putting the system under extra pressure.
But the constraints - and the council’s response - seem to have “severely dented the confidence” of investors, city councillor Sarah Thomson says.

Goat for garden/lawn clean up
My son is at uni doing a PHD and useless at keeping up with mowing the lawns, does anyone have a few goats they wouldn’t mind taking care of it for a day or so? Just to get it back to a manageable state. I’m disabled so I can’t do it myself and I’ve seen videos where the goats seem to enjoy it?. Fully fenced section with security.
