Burglary

Betty from Hillcrest

On Friday the 22nd December at round about 6.30am in the morning while I was 6 feet away in my swimming pool plus I had visitors in the house , I was burgled . They came in and stold two cell phones one brand new and my laptop computer. These people do not consider the stress an heartache they put people through. Even so close to Christmas having to go to the insurance etc. On the computer had photos and important documents .It looks like you have to lock ourselves inside and outside of the house. What is our country coming to ? We do know the nationally of the person Sick of them wanting everything and even taking everything .I only hope they get their comeupits..

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)
.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Computer Help.

Ruth from Queenwood

My favourite computer people, PC Heroes, seem to have disappeared? Can anyone suggest a business that can come and go over our devices updating as necessary?
