Poll: Do you think international flights will bring bigger airport dividends for councils?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The value of Hamilton Airport - and the 50% stake held by Hamilton City Council - has likely increased “significantly” according to one Hamilton councillor, but that doesn’t mean a share sale should be on the horizon, at least not yet.

Councillor and Economic Development chair Ewan Wilson said that in the wake of the announcement that international flights were returning to Hamilton, “the value of the airport has increased significantly”.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
