What's your take on plans for up to 1300 new homes in Ruakura?

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz

Do you see signs of a squeezed rural economy?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Tractor sales have shot up for a second-hand farm machinery dealer.
