Poll: Do you think bylaws are the right option?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Gone are the golden days of wrap-around services and showering in the CBD’s fountains for Hamilton’s streeties, with new bylaws on the way to “take back the CBD”.

Ewan Wilson, Hamilton City west ward councillor says the “soft-touch” approach that’s been taken by the council to address the anti-social behaviour in the CBD isn’t working, and anti-social behaviour is “eroding“ the “essence of the city”.

Do you think bylaws are the right option? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Would a new supermarket help NZ?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Nicola Willis will this weekend announce decisions taken by Cabinet to incentivise and encourage a third supermarket player alongside FoodStuffs and Progressive (Woolworths).

Do you think having a third supermarket chain will bring competition and lower grocery prices, or will the existing giants still dominate?

What's one highway or road that needs attention?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We've all been on a summer roadie and experienced first-hand the state of our roads.

If you've ever been stuck in a summer traffic jam, had near-misses on dangerous turns or feared for your life on clifftops (while the car behind you is tail-gating!) - you may have an opinion on this one.

Tell us what main road or highway you think needs some serious attention across the country, and why!
