Councillor Sarah Thomson eyes Hamilton mayoralty
Councillor Sarah Thomson is giving “very serious consideration” to running for the Hamilton mayoralty at this year’s local body elections.
If Thomson stands her political leanings will be a contrast to those of other potential contenders so far - “fiscal conservative” councillors Tim Macindoe, Geoff Taylor and Ewan Wilson, who continue to discuss which of them could run.

The Best Backyard Build winner
It was a very hard decision but we've chosen our winner of the Best Backyard Build as Todd Haswell of Raureka. Congratulations, Todd!
His entry reads:
A couple of years ago my wife said "Can you make me a cuppa tea area down the back? Something with a cover over it."
Me being a graphic artist by trade, I went overboard and made this. Most of the timber is offcuts or leftover from years of not throwing anything out. The doors are from the old Napier Hospital. The two side ones open up on top like stable doors. At night lights come on in the windows (solar), which makes it look like a little house. However the back wall is the centre door.
We think his entry is very creative and impressive. Give this post a Like if you agree!
This wraps up our Backyard Awards - we hope you enjoyed taking part and seeing your neighbour's creations.
