Poll: Are you expecting lots of development and new businesses around the theatre?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The owner of Raglan Roast has secured another property on Hamilton’s “golden mile” to potentially expand the brand into what’s turning into a focal point of CBD.

At an auction day at Bayleys this week, the Victoria St title appeared among a list of farms, commercial properties and lifestyle blocks in front of a competitive crowd of about 60 would-be buyers.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Discovery of remains could answer one question but leave more

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s been more than 900 days since Alvina Smith last saw her partner Shane Edwards - standing at the kitchen sink doing dishes.

Now, if human remains found near a Tokoroa creek turn out to be his, it’ll resolve at least one of her many questions.
