Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

That was Susan O’Regan’s take in the wake of a workshop which put finances under the microscope. Elected members were asked to give direction on the financial strategy for the council’s nine-year Long Term Plan, due to be adopted in June.

Welcome to this four bedroom character bungalow within a stunning country lifestyle with views of Mount Pirongia and only minutes to town. Enjoy the beautifully kept, private and landscaped gardens. Established amongst attractive gardens and specimen trees where you will enjoy the sound of native birdsong and visits from the likes of quails, pheasants, wood pigeons and Tui, just to name a few.

The house has four bedrooms with the fourth room currently being used as a media room. In addition, there is also a sunroom/office, a bathroom with a shower and bath, and two separate toilets, along with a separate laundry.

There is a separate formal lounge and spacious kitchen/dining area opening onto a large, newly oiled deck, facing Mount Pirongia.

This has been a smoke-free home and is heated by two heatpumps and is fully insulated with smoke alarms.

The house has just been commercially cleaned outside along with a hard surface treatment, so you are good to go.

Potential to add a second dwelling.

Awesome neighbours, relaxing country lifestyle with mountain views, birdsong, privacy, yet still close to town.

Streeties have been defecating in public, throwing fire crackers and pulling up floorboards hunting for cigarette butts, but a local politician says them getting a job is the answer.

Hamilton East MP Ryan Hamilton was among Hamilton leaders the Waikato Times spoke to in the aftermath of revelations of increasing feral behaviour in the city’s CBD, and he said with lower inflation and economic indicators starting to turn the corner, businesses would need staff.
