Poll: Do you think direct flights to Hamilton will bring more tourists?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Goodbye Auckland Airport, big smoke traffic jams, motorway gauntlets, possible congestion charges and wasted time - and hello to the Mighty Waikato.

That’s the message being beamed to potential tourists across the ditch in the wake of Jetstar announcing the return of international flights to Hamilton Airport - and it’s getting the thumbs up from the region’s tourism players and politicians.

Have you tried this cafe?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Ethos Cafe isn’t just serving food - it’s rethinking the entire food system. From growing its own produce to composting kitchen waste back into the soil, this cafe is closing the loop, one plate at a time.

“We grow our own food, bring it into the kitchen, and whatever’s left goes back into our garden,” says head chef Chris McIntosh.

What do you think the speed limit should be around schools?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Switching to variable vehicle speed limits outside a dozen Hamilton schools is potentially “gambling with children’s lives”, says the city’s deputy mayor Angela O’Leary.

The schools currently have permanent 30kph limits but the Government has ordered a change as part of its push-back on speed limits lowered over the past few years.
