One person who the organisation supports is Matthew Sloane (pictured above), someone who, in his dad David’s words, “spreads joy.”
“Matthew is an incredibly cheerful, friendly person, and that friendliness is contagious,” said David.
The 31-year-old has a learning disability and has been supported by CCS Disability Action’s Waikato branch for around 10 years. He is also employed as a caretaker at the local branch, work he enjoys.
Matthew has a small team of Support Workers who spend time with him each weekday morning and help him to live independently. Every day holds something different. As well as working at CCS Disability Action, he enjoys a regular cycling session and connecting with friends.
Just wondering if it's just my home or if there are others in the neighborhood experiencing the same problem. My front fence has been damaged on several occasions in the past 6 months.

My front fence has been damaged on several occasions in the past 6 months. I've reported it to the police but nothing seems to be done about it. Last night I heard a loud bang and thought it was car that smashed into my fence again but only to find out it was a couple of teenagers. My neighbor got into his car and chased after them but they ran down Fairfield college and into the gully. I am quite frustrated because my fence is a boundary line aluminum fence which was quite expensive but it is completely damaged.
I'm just wondering if we should perhaps set up a neighborhood watch if anyone on bankwood rd would be interested, could you pm me please.

Hamilton East Ward councillor Mark Donovan has stepped down effective immediately, but insists his work for the city isn’t over.
“Although I’m resigning, I’m not leaving Hamilton. This city has been my home for over 30 years, and I remain committed to its wellbeing.”
Now ex-councillor Mark Donovan says the busyness of a new job, frustration over the pace of council decisions and family commitments are the key factors behind his change-of-heart resignation from the city council.

The fiscal conservative’s departure - which means potential for less voting power on what’s seen as the council’s “right” - also comes amid niggles from other councillors about his recent attendance at meetings.

Despite being only four years old, the flash dunnies have seen ratepayers constantly spending a pretty penny on maintenance since they were built with the elegant outhouses’ pipes too small for the job - despite their goal of attracting thousands of passing travellers to stop in the town’s main drag.
