Dodgy footpaths? The inspector's coming

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Dodgy footpaths are a constant source of complaints, but now there's a man on a scooter checking out pavements across Hamilton.
Voltaire Villalobos and his three-wheeled scooter will cover more than 1000km of pathways, looking for parts that are uneven, cracked, or crumbling.

Dodgy footpaths are a constant source of complaints, but now there's a man on a scooter checking out pavements across Hamilton.
Voltaire Villalobos and his three-wheeled scooter will cover more than 1000km of pathways, looking for parts that are uneven, cracked, or crumbling.
He stays away from schools at peak hours though, because all the kids want a go on his scooter.
Have you seen him out and about?
And did you know that Hamilton City Council had a $2.3m budget for footpaths in 2017/18? It's set to increase to $5.1m for 2018/19.

New World Te Rapa's Angus beef sausages have just been crowned supreme champions in a national competition - an honour shared with a beef and mushroom sausage from Westmere Butchery in Auckland.
Where's your top sausage spot?
The Te Rapa win was in the Devro Great New Zealand Sausage Competition.
"You have nothing to hide behind when you make a beef sausage. It has to be quality," butcher Chris Nicol said.
"You can take shortcuts when you make sausages, but if you use quality ingredients and put the time and effort into it and if you hand mix it and use the right meat to fat ratio you're going to come up with a good product."

Bruce Scobie does his bit when it comes to recycling. He washes out the bottles, separates the different containers, and knows exactly which numbered cast-offs of modern consumerism can find new life in a journey starting at his bright green council recycling bin.

But last Tuesday morning the environmental message Hamilton City Council has spent years fostering felt like so much trash to Scobie when he watched shortcut-taking contractors tip his street's recyclables straight into the rubbish truck.

Recycling collector Waste Management holds the contract to collect rubbish for the Hamilton City Council and said what Scobie saw was an isolated incident.

The city council waste management and minimisation plan has a target of a 50 per cent increase in per capita kerbside recycling, A 10 per cent reduction in the per capita amount of rubbish to landfill, 25 per cent decrease in kerbside rubbish to landfill and a 10 per cent increase in the amount of material diverted from landfill.
